South Bend is not a pedestrian-friendly city. The city has been trying to improve pedestriansâ mobility with new bike paths downtown and around it, but I feel that the city is still very unsafe for pedestrians, bike users and people who use public transport. Cars on the roads go too fast in places where the sidewalks are in terrible condition and are pretty narrow.
As a pedestrian and regular bike user, I donât feel safe at all on South Bend roads. I realized the city planning is still solely focused on roads for cars and not public and interconnected transport. The bus service hasnât improved, and around downtown there are places that have no sidewalks or lights for pedestrians to cross streets. It is not enough just to try to change the situation; if the city is going to work on it, it should be full work, not just half of it. If we all have the same rights to the road, then why do car users have more rights to public space than others?
