Just build more and bigger sidewalks. In shenzhen and beijing, they often have 2 separated bike/moped lanes on either side of the road, a bike/scooter parking lane, and then like 20 feet of sidewalk you can also ride your electric moped on.

Take one or two of the traffic lanes to cover it. They have enough.

They've already done this. Side walks have been widened bus stops have extentions into the road lanes have been removed for bike lanes and other lanes have been removed for bus lanes. Major Manhattan roadways like 2nd ave have been pushed from 4 - 5 lanes to 2 - 3 depending on the area
