Traces on Ergodox Infinity / ICED are very small #13

I'd like to see bigger traces on the Ergodox Infinity (ICED) PCBs.

I've just replaced some keys on my Ergodox Infinity. It appears that I've destroyed some traces on the PCB for the LEDs and switches. This is obviously my fault, but figured the PCB could be improved to prevent this in the future.

The traces on the PCB seem unreasonably small and tight together. Making these much bigger is probably an easy change, and will likely improve PCB durability. I noticed this on the Ergodox Infinity (ICED) PCBs, but the same might be true for the other PCBs in this repository as well.

I would love to contribute this change myself, but am not familiar enough with KiCad or PCB design to make this happen. Thus I'm posting this here because someone else might be able to contribute, or Input Club/Kiibohd could include this improvement for a new revision/batch.
