They could used the same amount of space (5 + 5 = 10 feet?) to make a comfortable, bi-directional cycletrack on the side next to the trains, where there would be no risk of doors opening from parked cars. And look at all that landscaping; there was plenty of room for a 14 foot wide, world-class bike path plus a sidewalk, if active mobility were prioritized over landscaping.

The part of the path you photographed varies considerably from the too narrow (barely clearing a drainage vent), pot-holed path that was striped before the street was resurfaced. There are still two lanes of traffic and street parking. We deserve and were promised better. Let's not be satisfied with this crumb! We need the bike path — but it is inadequate.
