I rode on this street (15th Ave NE) 1000s of times with no bike lane, when I used to live on 16th Ave NE. It sucked. I pointed out that drivers only really parked on one side of the street. The city had a plan to repave and add a protected bike lane, but it was delayed for years due to, of all things, "natural gas" pipe expansions. I moved to NYC before they started the project.
It looks SO GOOD, and just as I predicted, the parking is not overloaded despite being on only one…

Pic from the sidewalk of a street with a freshly painted bike lane next to the sidewalk (and two people biking in it), next to a parking lane with a few cars (and a space for another car), then two lanes of travel lanes, and then finally a bike lane on the far side of the street.
Another pic from the sidewalk. There's Roosevelt High School on the right, then a street with (flex post) protected bike lanes on each side. There's also a crosswalk, and Rectanglar Rapid Flash Beacon. Also, a weird bike turn pocket IN THE BIKE LANE (uh, SDOT, that's not how that's supposed to work).
Another view from the sidewalk of flex-post protected PBLs, with underutilized parking on only one side of the street.
