I would actually prefer proper bike lanes, not some lines painted on the street that do not work for either motorists or cyclists. Take the dandelion verge between the sidewalk and curb that exists on most streets and pave them to make them a separate bike lane out of the car traffic flow. That would cost more, and hence need more deliberation and time before pulling the trigger. That would be good compared to the existing approach, which is hugely ill-advised and is setting the whole thing up for failure and conflict between those paying the bills and the entitled cyclists.

That would be a good idea, though it's also where utility poles and trees are often located. Might not be a wholesale solution, but where possible would be preferable to painted lanes. But yes, it would be expensive.
