There are places in the U.S. that give a shit about biking and pedestrian infrastructure. They're tearing up a major road a block from my house and are adding a separate mixed-use lane for pedestrians.

In 2024 another major roadway is going down a lane to add a bike lane and a third is in development design talks now.

The U.S. is a big place and local attitudes about transportation vary wildly. It's ok to be frustrated but this post is generalizing a bit too much.
