The idea is to reduce injuries and fatalities, and to provide facilities for people who would ride, but drive instead because they don’t feel safe without protected bicycle facilities. Especially with lots of new development coming in on the 195 land.

You sound like an urban planner, but a lot of what you learn as an urban planner can be wrong. Best to question it and have real area studies to back it up.
How many people would ride a bike instead of drive near 195 land? Only those young and fit and in very good weather and who have the musculature to go up and down College Hill?
Creating bumper to bumper traffic will just encourage more people who can't ride bikes for a multitude of reasons to flee the city.
Bicyclists have lots of bike paths like the East & West Bay paths to ride on.

It works in scenarios where the bike traffic already exists. I have yet to hear a case of where they "build it and they come", yet I can name many such projects that have resulted in nothing but increased congestion and road rage.
Large trucks make daily deliveries to businesses on South Water Street. To make the deliveries, the trucks have to stop in the road - which temporarily makes a portion of South Water Street only one lane. This creates congestion, so we already know what would happen if it were to become only one lane.
And how would the trucks make deliveries to the businesses? With only one lane, they wouldn't be able to.
And dangerous too. Frequently taken over by the "12 o'clock Boys", who I suspect will claim the "bike lane" as their own too.
I assume you mean the ATV/mini bike crew, but why do you call them the 12 o'clock boys?
I don't think it matters whether it's one lane or two; they're taking the whole road, either way.
