All good points that I would love to have implemented in my city. The only one I don't understand is the contraflow lanes, does anyone know what that means?

As u/dangit_bobby pointed out, they allow for cyclists to ride in the opposite direction on a one-way street.

Here's a great site with photos and specific benefits: https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/bike-lanes/contra-flow-bike-lanes/

Yup, that makes total sense. Thanks!

it means that it would allow cyclists to go in both directions on a one-way street.
