For bicycle lanes to work properly, everyone needs to feel safe riding on them. Think of an elderly person, with some mobility issues and needing to carry stuff around. Therefore they need to be isolated from traffic all the time. If they are not, only able bodied users will come, and the effect will be minuscule.
You are not proposing a bicycle lane, but a mixed use road. The literature has proven that they are inferior, should not be encouraged.
