All they did was put down the concrete parking barriers that they use at the end of parking spots over top of the painted on bike lakes. Instant segregated bike lanes. And they saw a massive increase in number of cyclists, and an increase of the confidence and feeling of safety by those cyclists.
I sound like a broken record because I keep bringing this up, but it's so simple, fairly cheap. Why not try it the way Ottawa did. If it doesn't work, you just stop it. But it will.
They've done that in other parts of Ottawa too, I rode through one that was on the edge of Kanata or maybe it was in Stittsville; it wasn't really someplace that one would expect to have segregated infra but there it was.
