Truck drives through my moms and partners bar front dining room

[Aaron Bradley]

Yup - exactly what it says. My mom and her friend have owned this bar for about 15 years. This is the 3rd time a car has driven through the front of it.

This time the truck made it about 3/4 of the way into the bar, no one was hurt. No one has been hurt the previous times too. Check it out!

Perhaps this round of repairs should include some bollards on the sidewalk!

The restaurant at the top of Oriole Parkway at Eglinton had to install concrete pylons after several vehicles plowed in their front window too. Might be time for your mom to consider doing the same!

Well, that is a great point! If you look closely at the pictures, you can see they put in a 3" steel barrier fence into the sidewalk to stop this exact problem. They did that after the 2nd time someone drove through and it was the landlord who actually put it in.

I guess that just isn't enough these days...

What were they planning to stop with a 3" fence? toy cars?

LOL!

3" is the size of the pipes, not the height of the fence silly rabbit.

BTW - the fence that was there, pulled it's base out of the ground!

F@ck - those dinky cars are sure tough!
