This reform is especially important because kids can't vote. They can't vote for a local politician to provide bike lanes for them. Kids of course can't drive either so many have almost no freedom of movement outside of their suburban street. Public transit and safe bike lanes can massively increase the access to mobility kids and teenagers have.
This access to mobility can help them build confidence, independence, and navigation skills. It can help them get to school, work, or recreational activities. Forcing kids to rely on their parents for movement is not fair.
