The bike lanes are up next to the sidewalk and separated from the road by a grass median and curb. I ended up there while driving because of a construction detour, and the lanes are reasonably narrow (around 3.3m according to the documents), and there are pedestrian islands you have to consciously steer around acting as traffic calming. And floating bus stops according to the documents.
Other than lack of connections (all I can think of is that pathway that connects over to Mill and the IHT) it seems pretty decent. Will try and get some photos some time.

I think this is part of the city's larger bike plan. There will be more meaningful connections in the future, I think along Spadina Rd. Also Stirling and Highland south of Queen both have (mediocre) bike infra.
As for the design, it's perfectly good. This is what good standards will net us. Projects will just be...not garbage by default.
