Definitely has his grip on reality, this one

You're looking at what is obviously a conceptual diagram and acting as if it's some kind of literal blueprint. IMO it's something closer to a Sankey diagram showing the overall flow and moda share of traffic into the city than a plan sketch of an individual road. I don't think it's even reasonable to conclude that it's actually suggesting using the same alignment for cars, bikes, and pedestrians at all, let alone strawmanning it as "a bike lane on a highway."

Frankly, I'm found it to be a tough call deciding whether you genuinely didn't understand that or if you were commenting in bad faith (which violates rule 1), and the only thing that made me give you the benefit of the doubt was your later comment talking about the cement barrier (i.e. a somewhat constructive comment about how to make it better) instead of continuing to flatly reject it.

    If you had looked at my replies to other people who replied to me, you would see I wasn't antibike lanes in general. The diagram looks far closer to a city street than a highway.

    I did, hence my reference to "your later comment talking about the cement barrier."

    The right side of it does, sure, because that's what it's depicting the highway transitioning to.
