    Especially in the US, pedestrian infrastructure in general is lacking.

    “Pedestrian infrastructure” is really car infrastructure, because it’s designed for the benefit of cars to get pedestrians out of the way.

    By all rights, the entire street has been “pedestrian infrastructure” for thousands of years.

      The part that is shared with cars is, yes. Still doesn’t mean that it should be shit. This problem is there because it does suck. The US is a stand out in regards to non-car safety in a bad way. Trying to blame it on cars only is stupid. Demand better infrastructure, not even more bloat on cars.
