It would be the same thing if someone started digging up city sidewalks without a permit or started blacking out bike lanes, or installing their own 80kph signs along Main St.

But digging up sidewalks would damage them. Blacking out bike lanes would prevent people from using them. Installing 80KPH signs along Main Street would render it (even more) dangerous. All obviously acts of mischief.

Making a street safer and more enjoyable for all users in no way damages property, makes it dangerous, or interferes with it's lawful use, enjoyment, or operation. Therefore, not an act of mischief.

(Staging a mass protest on Main Street and shutting the whole damn thing down for an hour, on the other hand, could reasonably be construed as both mischief and civil disobedience. Which, IMO, makes it a really excellent idea.)
