Parks as E‑Vehicle Superhighways

Cities are beginning to formally convert recreational park drives into tiered lanes for pedestrians, slow wheeled devices, and higher‑speed e‑vehicles, effectively integrating delivery and micromobility flows into formerly car‑free green spaces. These redesigns expose enforcement, reporting, and licensing gaps (unregistered e‑bikes, forged pedicab permits) that make safety projections unreliable and shift accident costs onto pedestrians and hospitals. — Framing urban parks as contested transport infrastructure reframes debates about public space, enforcement capacity, and who benefits from micromobility, with implications for city policy and municipal liability nationwide.
