The increase in retail sales is a powerful one for local businesses, who usually argue against this kind of thing.
They are arguing in bad faith - their true motivation is that they want a parking space for themselves right outside the business
I struggle to believe that most people are that set on not walking at most 5 mins that they are willing to loose out on that much extra money.
Is this really the first one? Feel like I’ve seen many in many cities…
too bad we have a bike org here that has browbeat the city into allowing it to ignore traffic ordinances.
This is what a proper bike lane looks like. We need more of these.

people will still find ways for vehicles to hit them
was in the city yesterday and someone decided to walk behind a reversing vehicle that was leaving the parking space then proceeded to blame them
also speed limits are not enforced in the United States very well
we need either one or the other and don’t have the transportation technology for both at this current point in time

You mean someone backed their car into a pedestrian without making sure the way was clear?
You might have forgotten over half of all people are idiots. Driver and pedestrian alike. No excuse for the driver not looking out being the liable one, but a lot of people walk right into shit because they’re either: not paying attention, think if something happens they can sue for money, or are frankly idiots.
I bike or walk everywhere I go, so I’m familiar with having to watch out for drivers. That being said, I think the person operating thousands of pounds of steel bears more responsibility than anyone just walking around. You’re controlling a machine capable of killing people, you should really pay attention to what you’re doing.
Enforcement can never solve speeding. You need speed control infrastructure.
I favor designed spaces for pedestrians over more cops/enforcement any day.
ACAB and passive enforcement over active enforcement. It saves money and lives.
Yup, the intersection in Sunnyside Queens where Tom Holland’s Spiderman lives was the worst place for pedestrian deaths in the city until the city curved the road a bit about 1 mile back.
Kinda happy to see youre expanding your bad takes outside the political communities.
