Update on the street in San Francisco by “Rob the road guy” I tend to agree
that it’s the wrong solution to this location ie how do you stop for a
coffee/cake. So on.

I guess that it (having the bike lanes in the middle would work on
locations such as London Embankment where all traffic is moving though with
controlled junctions, than a shopping street where one of the advantages of
bike traffic is generally it’s easier to just stop and do some shopping and
so hence the typical curve where businesses are horrified by the idea of
segregated bike lane but once it’s installed and foot traffic increases
tend to be pro it.
