How stupid. They should have been built as segregated bike lanes in the first place, with barrier curbs separating them from the motor traffic lanes. Actually out in the suburbs segregated lanes with bike boxes at intersections would work extremely well. With low traffic overall, the environment is actually pretty quiet; all that is missing with the conventional dangerous design is some separation from the motor traffic.
