It is an interesting view... now take it further and imagine never having to apologize as you rarey encounter pedestrians. And like the picture shown in the article (I wonder how many here will actually read it before blasting out some negative comment), the "sidewalk" is very wide, and you go fast, and maybe, it is smoothly paved vice full of those little gaps. And the "on street" alternative is a narrow 50 MPH road, one lane either way.

Is it then really the "sidewalk" that some here seem to deplore?

I posted an illustration a couple posts above that included a sidewalk, a sidepath, and a mulilaned not terribly high speed road. There were plenty of ways to get where you wanted to go.

But there are areas here that come down to narrow (one lane either way) fast (50 MPH) crowded (the only local road) with a sidepath (or is it a "sidewalk..." it's really wide)... your choice.

But no, this is NOT Boston, or NYC, or even Orlando, or Miami... where maybe the sidewalks are full of pedestrians and are legally and practicality "out of bounds."
