My neighbourhood at Queen and Highland is a great example. We are <2km from the market, central KPL, and school, but need to either risk our lives on the road or ride illegally on the sidewalk to do daily errands as a family by bike.
Queen St S is quite narrow from Charles onward, until then it doesn't seem like a major life-risk (though I have no fatality data). But cycling to the market should not be so difficult, along Mill, Peter and Eby St.
And both are just a 20-minute walk away: walking counts as active transportation, too.
