I also realize that there's a semantic debate here about what constitutes an "e-bike" and what constitutes an electric motorcycle. I don't really have anything to say about that.

More ppl + higher risk = more danger.

I wish I were being hyperbolic. Attempting to have a single street meet the needs of both a high volume of commuters *through* Downtown AND a high number of residents/workers/visitors *in* Downtown is impossible.
