@jwalshie People who design pedestrian and bike infrastructure should have to use it with their own kids and grandparents, in various weather, for a minimum of 5 hours.

@EverIntrigued@MarkGortonNYC A few counterpoints:
- Less cars on the road mean that buses will run faster / more on time
- More space for bikes and pedestrians will mean that it will be nicer and safer to move around using cheap means of transportation
- People who can't afford $9 are not driving today
@EverIntrigued@MarkGortonNYC First they can get an exemption. Second, a lot of disabled people cannot drive, and this just made it a lot nicer and safer for them to move through the city. Hope this helps!
