Okay and we can sit here and pontificate on how the way things should have been done or we can think about things we can do today based on what we have. I accept that you want to look back and lament what we didn't do. I find that depressing, so I'd rather think about what we can do right now based on the infrastructure we have to encourage people to adopt people centric modes of transit. Having a safer bicycle would get us there. It would keep people closer to homes, encourage the creation of smaller business centers instead of massive strip malls, and revitalize downtown streets as more people decide to opt for the convenience and enjoyment of the human powered methods.

This isn't revanchist thinking. This is simply the advocacy strategy used in the Netherlands to pivot from a car heavy society to a bicycle heavy one. It's used as a model of advocacy for many pro-mode-share groups throughout the Western world. https://www.dutchreach.org/car-child-murder-protests-safer-nl-roads/ https://www.dutchreach.org/car-child-murder-protests-safer-n...
