People always fear stuff they don't understand. Having cycling and MUPs is good for a community. In the end yes there can be crime, but probably more crime happening from the people who are complaining than on the actual trails. If you do have crime there is probably a good reason for it and something that is preventable but having a bike path or MUP is not going to cause it.
I would much rather have a bike path near my home than some fancy shopping center or ridiculous NIMBY stuff.
