Steve, I submitted this on the survey. Would be happy to discuss the idea more if you have interest.
Consider one-way, buffered/protected bike lanes with grade separated sidewalks. On-street, unbuffered lanes and 2-way MUP is not as good here. 2-way paths work better in rail corridors and areas with restricted access on at least one side like along rivers and lakes. They don't integrate well with the rest of the traffic infra in this sort of application. And if you're gonna put bikes next to cars, they need at least 3 (but ideally 4 or 5 ft) of buffer--what's in the buffer is less important than the amount of space. Would be a great space for your green storm water feature and double as a place for snow in the winter.
