People need 26 feet to walk but only 6 feet to bike? Widen the bicycle lane, make driving more expensive to incentivize using it

Cyclists are generally traveling from point A to point B whereas the sidewalk is for:

  • groups of people standing still talking/looking at phones/scamming tourists/taking photos
  • food carts / news stands / those folding table "vendors" reselling stolen goods from CVS
  • that extra doorway restaurants construct every winter
  • outdoor seating for restaurants
  • dogs
  • sleeping people / people who took too much drugs and need to rest it off
  • bus stops
  • covid testing tents
  • subway entrances
  • dogshit
  • police vehicle parking
  • children playing / running / and even riding bicycles if they're 12 or under
  • food delivery people riding full-blown motorized vehicles
  • giant piles of garbage
