But in that way, it is truly non-unique.
I live on Stirling and regularly ride those lanes. I don't recall ever seeing parked cars on the lanes along the bus parking area. While I occasionally come across a parked car or delivery vehicle on the bike lanes on Stirling, the traffic on that street is low enough that I don't feel that there is any need for protected bike lanes over the current painted ones. There are places in the city with much more urgent need for new cycling infrastructure.
Have you ridden there during school pickup and dropoff times? The bike lanes are usually pretty good (there's tons of parking around) but during school pickup and dropoff ... that half an hour or less, it's a disaster....which is also the exact time when kids would be cycling to or from school.
I'm not saying anything about priorities, just about the pessimal claim of "kids can cycle to school" given that school is the one time that it isn't safe to cycle there.
