The best way to design bicycling infrastructure is from the ground up. When they're designing the road, or when they are doing major work to the road they need to redesign it from the ground up to include bicycle infrastructure. "Shoehorning" bicycle infrastructure in after the fact without doing any kind of redesigning isn't the answer.
