Did it damage the building facade or just the bench?

If I had a choice between a three point turn on that road and simply taking a side road to get back on track, I would take the side road 100% of the time.
I bet the time difference is in 1-2 minutes top.

Reply to Is there anywhere in town where singles can mingle and I can talk to women without coming off as a creep? by [deleted]
There’s always adult kickball. It’s been many years since I did it, but there was a lot of mingling happening.

It’s a good thing no one was sitting on the bench!

Sounds like a classic panic stomp on the gas thinking it’s the brake.

Seems like a pretty busy road to try a three point turn on in the first place. It sounds like they probably forgot to take it out of reverse before hitting the gas, and expected it to go forward. Although why they felt the need to press it so hard is a mystery.

A week before Atwood's closes for good. Crazy.
Good thing no one got hurt. Any earlier, and there could have been school kids or bikes around.

Reply to comment by andrewsinclair in How do you pronounce Linnaean Street? by too-cute-by-half
Ah, so it's von Linné St.
[fɔn lɪˈneː]
Linnaeus is the Latin form of his Swedish surname, used because he wrote his scientific work in Latin. He was born Carl Linné, and later ennobled to add the von.

Agreed. Personally I don’t understand not towing these cars. City streets are fucking filthy and it’s annoying when people just leave their cars there.

You are 100% right. they won’t be able to street clean very effectively if it’s just going to be $50.

Get bent you live in a city. Do you complain about police sirens disturbing law abiding citizens too?

American drivers are famously lazy and shitty at following laws. Only a complete moron thinks this will work.

So the streets will be filthy because spoiled, lazy drivers can’t be inconvenienced. What a dumb idea.

Towing someone for breaking the law isn’t harsh. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time

Meh, I don't see it doing much. In Montreal I saw these cool street vacuum things with a portable hose that can snake around cars. Something like this:
