First off, we all know making your own crosswalks, bike lanes and imitation bump outs is mischief and civil disobedience. Perhaps well intentioned, but it is none the less, it shouldn't be romanticized and pretend it's ok, because it's not.

Section 430 of the Criminal Code describes mischief as either destroying property, rendering it dangerous somehow, or "obstructing, interrupting or interfering" with it's "lawful use, enjoyment or operation."

If I make a few changes to a street to make it safer and more enjoyable for everybody, how am I committing mischief?

And whether or not you think civil disobedience is OK depends a great deal on where you land on the authoritarian scale.
