I like Catherine!

What about the perpetual blind spot created by the line of parked cars? How many drivers are going to see a bike on the cycle-track due to the parked cars? And how many are going to know what the green box is for?

Also will cyclists be required by law to use the cycle-track or if their skill and comfort level is up to riding with traffic are they still free to do so?

From the comments section I like the idea of reducing the overall speed of all motor vehicles and more fully integrating bicycles into the flow of traffic where they belong.

I liked the buffered area between the bike lane and traffic better then the cycle-track idea.
