I have complete confidence that Denver Public Works aren't stupid enough to build infrastructure like that.

Wazee St right now is nothing like that. Just a two way street, yellow strip down the center and on street parking on both sides. It is actually quite narrow and traffic moves slowly. It is very bikeable.
Further, I doubt that AASTHO guidelines would allow for that kind of infrastructure. Trapping a bike path between parked cars and a sidewalk is just asking for trouble. Really makes you question their urban planning ideas, doesn't it?
