    The dodging cars can be resolved by the Council making actual protected bike lanes. Not a bicycle gutter, if they strip a lane of a stroad on each side it can be replaced with a wider pavement, bike lane, grass strip with trees… Safety, shade, nature…epic win for everyone.

        Road - parking - green buffer - bike lane - sidewalk - stores.

        Where there is parking the green buffer is narrow and where there is no parking the green buffer is wide. Alternatively the parking is covered by PV panels.

          But, but, but …

          Then the road would be much more narrow and drivers would find it harder to fit their ever larger penile-compensation vehicles in it, not to mention their egos!
