The hydro corridor that cuts across Toronto doubles as parkland, but it shouldn’t be open to riders of dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles. The corridor used for transmission towers and high-voltage power lines amounts to secondary green space for people who live in the area. It’s a great space to go for a hike or walk a dog; if you can look past the hulking towers, it’s almost like a slice of country in the city. Just about everyone is welcome, except those who would try to steer a car into it, or other types of motorized vehicles. That’s why Hydro One, which is in charge of Ontario electrical transmission lines and responsible for the corridor, uses cable suspended by wooden posts to seal off entrances at points where it crosses city streets.
