Faces of Slow Lake Street: MACKENZIE HUYNH

“We come out and walk Lake Street for our sunset stroll every day between 5 and 6, rain or shine and we, I mean, this is part of our daily, we’ve done this for what, two years now. It’s the best part of our day. Truly the best part of our day being on Lake Street as a family.

I want to be my most articulate here but, we always walk right in the middle of the streets. We have space. We stop and chat with people. The sidewalk is insufficient. If we wanted to go on the sidewalk we would be somewhere else. Here we actually get to be, free.

My husband Tam is not on this walk but he is also a Slow Lake supporter.

I’m just shocked there’s any opposition to Lake being a permanently slow street. It seems like a win for everyone.”
