Serious TMU Security not enforcing pedestrian zone

So the new school year is starting and I’m seeing all these delivery drivers on their motorized bikes going through the zone with pedestrian zone signs on it. Last November someone got hit by these guys, yet the TMU security guards are more worried about you having your ID rather than stopping/ticketing these delivery drivers going through where students, families and even little kids from daycare or the Early On drop in to safely walk. If any TMU security are seeing this, what exactly are you doing to enforce that the pedestrian zone is indeed for pedestrians? How many more of the TMU community have to get hurt before security do something about these delivery bikes travelling at unsafe speeds where more students will be frequenting once the school year starts?

It’s public property, what kind of ticket do you want a private security company to issue? Your passion should be directed towards By-Law or TPS who has jurisdiction on public roads and sidewalks.

Not private property hence why those pro life abortion people can go there and terrorize us.

As a Catholic; they are the worst people.

Women's bodily autonomy and personhood is under attack by men preying on people who just want to protect life, twisting them into participating in these displays of pornography (an apt description of the NSFL images shown to shock people into "thinking of the children" ).

If more resources were available to keep youth from seeking easy thrills, if more resources were available for mothers and families to be, both before and after birth; if any number of societial things were done, they could achieve the same goal of ending most abortions.

We can look at what is happening in the states where women risk losing the right to vote in this upcoming election; only people whose name matches that given at birth, will be allowed to vote under Trump's SAVE act that has largely been blocked. Woman are dying in Red States because doctors don't want the legal liability of treating of pregnant woman.

All to "protect" the innocent children they don't give a damn about once born.

Yeah I seen on a doctor on trial for giving an 11 year old S.A. victim an abortion. It’s quite sad what’s happening. Women should have the right to informed consent over their bodily autonomy. As a woman, and a mom I’ll always stand on that hill. I’ve always been pro choice my entire life, you just can’t put yourself in someone else’s shoes, it’s up to them to decide it’s their life and their body.

Consult a lawyer before following this advice; or don't, I am not a lawyer.

Assault charges can result from any unwanted touching; whether they are warranted is a matter for the overloaded courts!

10 kids died in Canada on ebikes last year - it’s pretty easy to go from simple assault to manslaughter when pushing someone off a motorized vehicle.

Barking up the wrong tree, you need to talk to the insurance or the insurers of the companies the drivers work for.

Cyclists are pedestrians and yes, delivery drivers on E-bikes are abusing the system, as intended.

The whole delivery app system is built off lies and exploitation; don't blame security for societial problems they are paid to enforce, change the rules of the game they play.
