Im not around all the time obviously but I very rarely see people using the bike lanes in Edmonton. I don't know why they don't make bike or multiuse pathways instead. Safer as away from the road and could cut distances.

That you don’t see people in them is at least partially a function of how efficiently they work. I don’t think I understand your second sentence? Multiuse is not great for commuting as multimodal users at varying speeds can make things less safe compared to users moving at the same speed.
