Read the following passage embedded in the prompt, then answer the question. The city keeps calling the new downtown lanes "bike infrastructure," but what we have is paint that disappears exactly where drivers speed up. Two weeks ago, a cyclist was hit at the intersection by the river—an intersection the transportation department already flagged as "high conflict" in its own memo. In response, officials posted a social media reminder telling riders to "be visible," as if reflective gear can substitute for protected design. When a plan treats injury as an individual failure rather than a predictable outcome of traffic patterns, it guarantees more memorial rides and fewer commuters willing to pedal. If the city wants people out of cars, it has to build lanes that don't evaporate at the most dangerous points and then blame the public for not trusting them. The author is responding to which situation or problem?
