We already have this in several places, we call them Local Street Bikeways (see Isleville, Vernon, Allan). To actually be effective and safe they require low traffic volumes and speeds via calming and modal filtering. Council has shown very little willingness to inconvenience drivers and do them well, and what they have done well (the Allan/Harvard diverter, for example) has not always been popular.
