   The first group believes the system will work for them and has time to advocate for it.

   The second group may not believe the system will work for them, and maybe it doesn’t or hasn’t, or doesn’t have time or understanding to advocate for themselves.

   Both groups deserve good infrastructure.

     I’ve served on a Bike/Ped Commission for years and met neighbors who are good about advocating for better sidewalks in their neighborhoods.

     Then I go out and explore the city and find other neighbors have “made the road by walking”. They’ve pounded desire paths into the earth by daily use, yet never showed up to a meeting to complain.

     This is why it’s so important that #urbanplanning is based on comprehensive, objective data and not just complaints.
