But you have wide footpaths?
Consider doing what Klaipeda (in Lithuania) did, and put your painted bike lane on the footpath, rather than the road.
Yeah, it's not an ideal solution, but it's better than fighting traffic.

Problem with this is it takes space away from one efficient mode of transport (walking) and gives it to another (cycling), similar to what they've done with bus lanes and cycle lanes in London. It means the net efficiency gains in terms of passengers per hour are much smaller than if you took the space away from cars, while also the subjective experience for pedestrians gets worse!
