    That’s a hard line to walk. Being so afraid your kid will get hit by a car that you do something that could get you sent to prison, where you certainly won’t be able to do anything for said kid.

    The city officials need to be the ones facing consequences for this, not him.

      Courts and juries are somewhat good at identifying bureaucratic incompetence. Prison is unlikely, but the fact he will have to appear in court likely a few times to resolve this is still not great.

          As he should. Probably an unpopular take, but even if this guy was right this time, we shouldn’t be accepting this type of behavior.

            Nah, fuck that noise. Vigilante pedestrian infrastructure saves lives and costs the state nothing. Don’t wait for a bunch snobby beurocrats to tell you your neighborhood is unfit for support. Fill potholes. Fix sidewalks. Install stop signs where needed. Be the change, call out the lack of action and challenge these chicken shits to do better.

            What type of behavior? Did he do something to endanger the public?
