I think the issue is rather that the people usually targeted by armed and/or violent criminals are the ones using public transport who get attacked after getting off the vehicle and walking, because they make convenient targets.
What would you prefer to use all that precious public space for instead? Build public housing? Grow crops? Build public parks? Bike-only paths?
I also wonder just what % of lethal car accidents occur within city limits.

Fair enough. But this raises a couple of issues.
Green space and sidewalks would swiftly get taken over by fentanyl junkies, mentally ill homeless and other bums. What would you prefer to be done about it then?
Should the new bike lanes/paths be designated as bikes-only? If yes, should bike use be restricted on other roads correspondingly? This is a rather thorny question.
