Al, you're so wrong here. What we need are dedicated lanes on sidewalks for slow moving pedestrians who have unique characteristics relative to other legged animals. Right now, there's no space on sidewalks for anyone who doesn't move at the speed of the runners. Put the lanes in (just cut a line in the concrete to clearly show where slow moving peds should walk/shuffle) and the number of slow moving peds will increase, and that will increase their safety. Don't you care that Grandma can't run?
