Now, how do we get bikers to stop biking in the pedestrian space, in the wrong direction; and get pedestrians from standing in the bike lane waiting for the light to change.

Honestly they should've used some of that extra pedestrian space and made an extra bike lane so that it could be a full 2-way bike lane

I never understand why they must make all the bicycles go the same way as cars. Many bicyclists will just not go over an entire avenue just to go a certain direction. There's plenty of space for two lanes.

Talk to the state legislature. Bikes must obey the same traffic laws as cars. Some bike riders just don't give a shit.

that doesn't mean the bike lanes have to follow car traffic. there are plenty of two-way bike lanes, and even bike lanes that flow against car traffic.

seems like there was enough space here for a two-way bike lane, which means you'd have fewer people salmoning.

Bikes and every other form of vehicle should be required to go in the direction of traffic only. So on a one way street, they could only go that one way. By all means, if there's that much bike congestion, add a second lane just make sure it follows the same one ways as every other vehicle is required and also make sure there are traffic cops ready to physically tackle and ticket anyone going the wrong way.
