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

Getting bumped by a 140 pound guy on a scooter is much, much preferable to getting killed by an idiot texting and speeding in a multi-ton car.

Yes we should enforce good street use on smaller vehicles, but in terms of potential for injury it’s apples and oranges.

While I completely agree with your point I'm laughing at "140lb guy". That's like a preteen weight. Adult men are going to be 150 minimum for a super skinny dude and a fit or chubby guy will be ~200lbs.
