Honestly, since we were just talking about bike lanes in the other thread, a completely separated one like this one will be is the only design that should move forward. Unless you can put Jersey Barriers on the Spruce/Pine style bike lanes, delivery trucks and others will just abuse the shit out of it.

Current rendering are a little cheesy, but you can get the idea.

I think people now wrongly believe me to be anti-bike lane. I'm not. I've been frustrated with the execution at times, i.e. unsightly plastic posts everywhere and overly complex lane configurations (Chestnut between 34th & the river might as well have no lanes at all drivers are so confused) and would like to find ways of doing it better.
I'm a big fan of extending the sidewalks like this and incorporating the bike lane into the side walk. Would love to see it.
