What the heck is this? This is basically just "it's now also illegal to be on foot in the street, in addition to how unsafe it already is".
FYI, the PDF of the proposed ordinance is pretty short -- the meat is on pages 2 to 3.

They should ONLY do this if there's already a robust pedestrian street grid infrastructure that makes it convenient to get around on foot, and there definitely isn't!
The City of Columbia is seeking community input on a proposed Pedestrian Safety Ordinance related to activity in certain roadway environments. The ordinance was developed following a Street and Intersection Pedestrian Safety Study, which examined local crash data,

Heard about this from a friend: the city council of #ColumbiaMO passed an #LGBTQ #SafeHaven Ordinance last night!
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIIZ) The Columbia City Council passed an ordinance that makes Columbia a Safe Haven for the LGBTQ community after dozens of people spoke in favor at Monday night's council meeting. The ordinance passed by a vote of 6-1 with Ward 5 Councilman Don Waterman as the lone member of the council to vote
They held an open house thing for the 4-laning of Forum and I went. The concepts looked about as bad as I thought. No separated bike lanes and no traffic calming. I asked about traffic calming and they're like "we're adding roundabouts to the intersections of Woodrail and Katy, that should slow them down". Another one told me to just use the sidewalk when I ride my bike. I'm super glad this city allows it, but then why not just make mixed-use paths instead?
Also, there was some country club NIMBY complaining about how this will affect his property value. It just shows what kind of people go to these, so when your city holds one, GO TO IT.
