If they're purpose-designed/built, they are very nice. If they try shoe-horning some bike lines into an existing sidewalk, it rarely works well.

The one on summer street towards the BCEC is very well seperated (wall of trees and benches) yet pedestrians still take it over... It's probably the best designed sidewalk level bike path I've seen. Doesn't help one bit.

It takes time and more bikes using the paths. Pedestrian adherence on Western Ave in Cambridge is way better now than when the path went in.

I don't know how much time you want to allow, but the path near the BCEC is at least 2 years old, as is the one outside The Eliot. The one from Boylston to Westland is at least 5 years old and always a shit show.
