As bad as some of these bike lanes are, you should try riding in an area where there are no bike lanes, and little tolerance for bikes (unless gasoline powered and noisy).
Those shown in Portland would be a dream come true here. Crossing a high speed turn lane doesn't have a good solution that I have seen.
