Precisely, which is the purpose of bike lanes. To segregate so that they don't have to share the same road.
How many streets in Toronto look like this. With a huge sidewalk and a huge section for trees and grass to boot.The Singaporians are way ahead of us. They make pedestrians and cyclists share the same sidewalk.
This should save 5-10 lives every year if Toronto adopted the same
EDIT: @roddermac beat me to it
They did this exact thing for Queens Quay. Sidewalk, bike lane, car lanes, and a lane for TTC.
The city in effect are doing just this. The bike lanes are right next to the sidewalk. See Richmond. See Adelaide.

Some do, some dont.
But you dont have to put bike lanes on every sidewalk
Thats great, but there's also lots of bike lanes that offer no protection from cars.
And those are the ones which will cause more injuries and deaths in the future
If cyclists obeyed the rules of the road there would be fewer injuries and deaths, however, this will never happen because 90% of them pay no attention to them.

Ontario’s transport minister: We should only be putting bike lanes in places that make sense
Instead of measuring the success of a bike lane policy in the number of kilometres installed, as Toronto currently does, we should be taking into account the impact on traffic
the sooner they die, the better
While driving today I see a bike, a food delivery courier actually, stopped smack dab in the middle of the curb lane.
Any car looking to make a right turn would need to wait for the bike to clear way.
Not an uncommon sight actually. Bikes will take up the whole lane when there aren't any bike lanes so cars won't be able to pass them.

" That’s why, in the next few days, our government will unveil our plan to work with our municipal partners around the province to ensure bike lanes are introduced in a way that reflects the need of the entire community"
I'm afraid that the word "introduced" addresses future and new bike lanes
it might mean that the ones that are already build, are here to stay
I hope not!
Years ago, I knew a bicycle courier who I met while walking his bike on Adelaide and Yonge. Said hi to him and asked why he was walking his bike on the sidewalk on Adelaide and he said, it is a $300 fine to ride on the sidewalk. If that is true, I wonder how many of them know that. I don't think too many, or probably they don't give a crap and there is probably no enforcement of the law.
first there was the $200.00 that we are going to get from him
and now this
love it!
he is got my vote !!!
