Shared non-designated space generally works in making people slow down and take more care..
Or those with the most power - in this case goons on bikes - bully the others, the pedestrians.
I don't buy the shared space hubris - it ignores two key things. One, people are trying to get somewhere, and purposefully limiting their efficiency in doing this seems silly, and two, as above, the powerful dominate those with most to lose, the peds.
It scares the shit out of people who can't see well, too.

I don't know. Shared non-designated space generally works in making people slow down and take more care.. it might be scary, but so are Copenhagen crossings, etc. Of course, there will still be risks, and a period of adjustment..
