Reply to comment by TwilitSky in New changes to 8th Ave create much wider pedestrian space, organize and calm a formerly chaotic place by Miser

Would you prefer to be hit by a multi-ton vehicle or a 120 lb girl on a scooter, the risk of each mode of operation becomes clear quite quickly :)

Sure but it doesn't mean we shouldn't control both to prevent accidents. We can do two things at once.

Building bike lanes to get all the bikes and other micromobility into the same place on the street is literally a form of controlling them and making things safer for everyone.

The point is if you replace something very dangerous and harmful with something that is only a tiny bit harmful it's a huge net win safety wise.
