In my area's they did just that and called it a cycle path, yet no cyclists use it and the pathment is so narrow that in places that you can't get a wheelchair past without encroaching upon this cycle lane, that now sits pedestrians between cars and cyclists jammed in the middle, kinda why many cyclists don't use them.

Had they just said, cyclists can use pavements period - but pedestrians have priority - it would of been far better for all and way safer and cheaper than what we actually got.
