I think this is what you're looking for Mahesh.

I would LOVE to see Main, Wilson and Cannon turned into this. Street parking, two traffic lanes, a flower garden boulevard barrier and two-way bike lanes.

Here is the cross section: http://vancouver.ca/engsvcs/transport/cy...

it's roughly a 4-lane cross section...which we have plenty of.

And it doesn't always have to involve a concrete flower planter along it's entire length....here is the same street Vancouver with a cheaper, yet still effective separation option: http://jaybanks.ca/images/2011/10/Hornby...

The main point here is simple. There are many options at our disposal to create safe, livable, vibrant communities through our lower city and 'code red' neighbourhoods where cycling is more necessary than simply a spandex event on Sun mornings. The lack of will from city hall on something so simple, and extremely cheap in the world of transportation infrastructure is sad.
