This should be the standard in greater LA.

Santa Monica can do it. Why can't Los Angeles?

Looks generally okay-ish, especially with all the proper protection. But isn't that awfully narrow for all but a very few bikes? If we learned some thing from the car-brain planning then that induced demand indeed exists.

Just like yet another lane does not reduce but in fact increase car traffic, one proper bike lane will increase bike traffic (and reduce car traffic)... and will quickly outgrow the capacity of these narrow green strips.

Its a step in the right direction, and you would not build a 10 lane highway right away, lanes would be added on and expanded as time progress.

Can’t wait for there to be congestion in these bike lanes…

Okay, it's still a step into the right direction.
