No, the bike lane should be raised above all of it so that bikes don’t have to stop at all.
Great bike infrastructure is when bike riders don’t have to stop for car traffic. It should ALWAYS be the other way around, or the paths shouldn’t cross at all.
Why should cyclists be the ones who have to go up the slopes? If you’re going to do that, raise (or better yet, bury underground) the car lanes instead.
I think they are saying the surface should be raised so the bike lane is level and the street passes over a speed table. This makes it evident that the street is crossing the bike lane, rather than the bike lane crossing the street. We are talking inches, not tens of feet.
That’s inconsistent with the “so that bikes don’t have to stop at all” part, but it would be much more reasonable than the nonsensical idea I was mocking.
