The Case for Separated Bike Lanes

This Street Films video about NYC's need for separated bike lanes summarizes a discussion that I bet is happening in many North American cities.  If there is enough room on the street, separated bike lanes are practical, convenient - whether on a bike or in a car.

But what about where there is not enough room on the street?  Since Rob Ford became Mayor of Toronto in 2010 he has been at war with cyclists.  While Ford (and many others) believe that the city's non-separated bike lanes should be ripped out for reasons of safety and efficiency, cyclists believe there must be another option.
