It really is not. The lanes are a bit narrower, which slows traffic speed, there is street parking where it matters (loading zones, hotels, daycares - including my own kid’s). Travel lane volumes are the same.
Stephen Ave, 90% of bike volume is at morning and evening rush hour, when pedestrian volumes are extremely low. Bike volumes are very low when pedestrian volumes at lunch are high. There is about 4 times the space as the river pathways where bikes and pedestrians also mix. It works just fine.
