Bikers have to use them when they are available and correctly (they are one way, people), cars & trucks have to stop parking in them, cabs have to stop using them to pick up and drop off passengers and pedistrians have to stop using them as an extra sidewalk or as a hangout while they're waiting for the light to change.
Absolutely - though these are design issues. They're starting to 'get it' - some of the newer ones are sandwiched between cars and curbs in the village and the separated with green striping on Broadway is great. Hopefully they'll continue to experiment and expand.
