I've noticed that cyclist rule compliance has increased a lot on the cycle track. Before it was there I saw a lot of light running, blowing through stop signs. There are still lots of dumb asses, but I think the effect of having lots of cyclists following the rules makes it more likely to follow suit. So you may see an improvement.
As for the cycle tracks only helping inner city residents, that's not true in the same way roads through there are not only for inner city residents. Lots of cyclists commute to the core, but have no way to traverse the areas in between.
