New Yorkers have long asserted their rights over cars on the city's streets, identifying with Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy who barks, I'm walkin' here!at a cab that nearly hits him as he tries to cross the street.Recent changes in street width, curb size, crosswalks, bike lanes and speed limits that were made as part of the city's adoption of Vision Zero in 2014, a program intended to eliminate traffic deaths, are a natural extension of this pedestrian-first mind-set.
