@mbonsma 100% agree that it should be safe for people to walk around - but it should be noted that pedestrians and cyclists navigating busy areas do not have the right to be distracted (ie. looking down at a phone) because we live in a society and respecting one another within that means being aware of other people using public space and not dangerously getting in their way.

@mbonsma I bike down a bike lane and pedestrians and other bikers endanger themselves and me just about as often as motorists do. I walk on the sidewalk and distracted pedestrians and cyclists get in my way and each others' ways. Living in a city means taking responsibility for each other and respecting each others' space. Nobody has the right to be distracted when navigating a shared space. Everyone has the right to walk without getting run over by a car, though.
