A proposal to keep pedestrian and cycling pathways from turing into "raceways" by city councilor, though local roads that once were public walkways are okay as raceways?

We barely study the cause of accidents on our roadways in Canada and refuse to believe we could design them safer and instead consider fatal interactions with cars as "accidents". I doubt governments are willing to study this in active transportstion paths given they barely want to fund the paths anyway and most municipalities still consider bicycle gutters as safe.
