Evolution, not revolution. But it's still a step forward.
I’d say it’s a step forward for pedestrians, but not for cyclists. I’d say the sharrows do nothing at all. The wider more accessible sidewalks are a big improvement, I have dumped my groceries more than once as a result of uneven sidewalks.
But it doesn’t represent a shift in thinking. Mind you, it was designed like 3 years ago. We have had a lot of progress since then, so maybe things would have been different today, hard to say.
