It sounds so hard to believe that streets became “much more dangerous” with “cyclists out there to kill pedestrians” that I looked for sources on the matter.
First result [0] says there were zero pedestrian or cyclist fatalities in 2019, with ping-term trend being increasing safety.
Another result [1] on how it was achieved: “cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars and generally made life harder for motorists”.
Huh… sounds like cars are doing the killing…
