"Roncesvalles is a primary main street/connector and despite its unique cross section, it is really no different in functionality than Queen Street for example.  It is expected to carry the commuting cyclist.  That being said, as a mixed commercial/residential main street, where the shopper, the cyclist, the street car and the automobile are meant to co-exist, it should carry all modes of traffic at a "reasonable" pace.  Like cars, cyclists should in fact, not be "motoring" through on Roncesvalles either.  

 

On that note, in terms of resolving the bump-out problem, why not eliminate on street parking to at least two to three parking stalls back from the raised transit stops/platforms such that parked cars can safely merge into traffic free of the functions of the transit stop, (while of course considering the safety of passing cyclists as on any street with a bike lane).  The raised transit platforms in my opinion, are a good thing because they would function as indicators to cyclists to come to a complete stop when passengers are boarding or entering a streetcar. On streets such as Queen, they typically don't stop because other than the streetcar doors opening, there is no physical on street indicator to encourage cyclists to stop.

 

The eliminated parking stalls can then become areas for "greening" at the stops - another visual indicator that would encourage cyclists to slow down at these points.  This is the psychology behind putting lots of trees on pedestrian oriented streets - they function as visual interruptors to drivers, making them naturally want to slow down.  In terms of the pedestrian/cyclist conflict at the transit stops, placing one foot high circular bollards such as those used in Barcelona for example, between the pedestrian and thebike lane, and spaced appropriately to accommodate the passage of a wheel chair, can provide an aesthetically appealing physical and visual divider.  An aesthetic such as this could function as an element that is unique to Roncesvalles, or at least be the first implemented in the stream of setting a precedent for elsewhere, if it works!  The downside to this of course, is the loss of parking stalls."
