The issue of sidewalk capacity is important (and oftentimes overlooked by NYCDOT, especially in places like Flushing), as is the issue of civility and courtesy in walking on crowded sidewalks; but I don't think it is germane to this issue as to the interaction between pedestrians and motorists. It is the very nature of being a natural right that requires others to modify their behavior in order to protect these rights. For example, it may mean that motorists have to drive slower. If the right to walk is inherently in conflict with the privilege to drive, then the privilege needs to give way to the right. A "license" to exercise such right is oxymoronic because it would effectively transform a right into a privilege. |
