So how do you balance the needs of drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, um, transit users and neighborhoods when making recommendations?

Yeah, trying to balance the needs of all those users is a tricky one.

We'd want to look at what route that road has access to.

So do we want to use and what's our intended use for that roadway? Is that roadway, say, an arterial road or a collector road where we just want to complement the movement of traffic and have traffic moving unimpeded? And when you encounter a situation like that, you really want to create a separation between bikes and pedestrians, more vulnerable road users.

And then in other situations, you could identify a roadway that is more conducive for active users.

So you'd want to say limit the amount of through traffic or just lessen the speed and create some sort of a barrier for the octave users and make it more conducive and friendly for the active users.

Can you explain a bit more about this?

Yeah, absolutely.
