Decentering private vehicles should be our top priority

When we truly decentre private vehicles, we’ll scarcely have a need for cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, because people will mostly just be able to walk, roll, and bike wherever they want. The idea that special infrastructure is required for people to walk or bike comes from a car-centric view where huge swaths of our towns and cities are for cars, not people. Don’t forget what the “protected” bike lane is protecting us from, and the fact that we shouldn’t constantly need protection from huge metal cages.
