I think you're right. I just hate it when bandaid solutions for failures of infrastructure are left as "good enough" when they should be treated as a way to buy time while long-term solutions like divided bike lanes, narrower roads with more speed tables, and public transit upgrades. The actual solutions are ignored when the bandaid solutions aren't themselves criticized, and without actual investment in public infrastructure we're never going to make our walkways actually totally safe.
