Still flawed, but a step in the right direction. Though I suppose you want to take baby steps to avoid backlash from sudden stronger changes.
Absolutely don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
The next step would be for people to voice there desired improvements and additions. This can be the addition of bike paths, raised crosswalks, bollards at intersections, benches and tree shade, patio areas and pedestrianised streets, dedicated tram ways, anything to turn a street into a destination as opposed to a thruway (or throughway).
Anything that can be done to push in the "right" direction is a win when it comes to improvements of infrastructure. Often enough we see cities get stuck in "planing and studies", and rarely implement, as to not inadvertently make a select few "unhappy".
Instead we all left collectively "unhappy", as opposed to a select few of us "unhappy".
Agreed. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
