Vancouver has a policy of building greenways, bike paths, and good pedestrian amenities throughout the city. They have refused to build new roads or widen existing ones for over 40 years. We are extremely far behind them. And I've never heard that Vancouver is particularly aggressive about fining jaywalkers! Every city has periodic crackdowns.
