Here is an example from Warsaw, Poland. A neglected link between two major cycle paths linking two districts. Pretty heavy bikes traffic (for the local standards of course). Cyclist need to mind a tree, a sign and a buffer plus the incoming bikes traffic from three directions. It is just 30-40 meters of investment.
Replying to #26368 Alexander Devyatkin
1A. i think the developer should think about the physical buffer (acne dots style) between the path and the motorized vehicles lane – i think there might be a tendency to park cars on the bike lane. This could help with getting rid of the middle line and would stretch out the width of the path
1B. ideally the cars lane would be narrower or as it is probably a residential street the whole concept could be reinvented and the idea of shared space could be implemented
2A – corresponding with 1A – there should not be a lot of problems with getting the permission for the higher buffers
2B – drivers could go mad with the idea of letting pedestrians and cyclist the way – they would insist on the developer and the local government not to proceed with the idea (plus the local governing body members as drivers could oppose)

So here is an example from Warsaw. Usual bike path in the city. Two directions. Width of around 220-250 cm.
Hello everyone! Dzień dobry!
My name is Mariusz. I live in Warsaw, Poland.
1) areas of expertise:
Research. Analytics. Storytelling. I have been running a PR agency in Poland for over then 20 years – OneMulti, a member of Public Relations Global Network. This year I launched a research and storytelling project – InsightOut Lab and this is why I am here. I am interested in the New Reality. Bikes are one of the top new trends becoming new normal. By the way – I do use my bike for my personal transport nearly every day. Yes, as all of you, I am obsessed with that mean of transport. “Copenhagenize. The definitive guide to global bicycle urbanism” a book by Mikael Colville-Anderson is my bible:)
2) unique perspective will enhance our collective understanding of designing for cycling:
I can bring some more understanding on how to communicate the change. Whom to talk to, how to talk to. I love creative concepts which focus people attention and make them think and change behavior. In fact I want to get from the course as much as possible that helps me in promoting the city cycling in Warsaw and other Polish cities.
