My kid can be trusted to play safely at that location, but it is not safe. The street is a 140 degree corner, like the letter Y shape. One side is a 60km/hr main street right and the other is residential/commercial. There are strangers walking around, businesses across the street, and no bus shelter, benches etc. To be there is to just stand there, waiting, in an area ripe for accidents or criminal activity.
It is not a matter of trusting my kid, and it never was.
