We need more infrastructure dedicated to micro-mobility options like ebikes and escooters so that they don't have to mix with pedestrian traffic as often. We need to allow more mixed zoning so that we don't have to travel 20 minutes by bike to get to the store, alleviating the drive to ride as fast as possible.

Not only would that eliminate the need for speed, but it would also reduce the overall number of trips taken by bike. Less trips means less crashes. Same goes for cars.

Add it to the never ending list of benefits to mixed use zoning.
