Just building protected bikelanes is not enough for cities that were build over decades with a car-centric layout. You need to drastically reduce parking and increase the density. This is a process that will take a long time. Changing cities is hard.

Boston/Cambridge were built for horses not cars. A car centric layout would actually create way more space to accommodate the bicycles.

More space for traffic is generally bad for everybody since it increases the number of miles between the places where you want to be.
