I think this way of thinking is exactly why you need to consider reducing the number of lanes and increasing protected bike lines. If the mentality is always "next year" or "next project", then the work will never get done and progress will not occur or will occur extremely slowly. I attended several of the meetings discussing the bridge and bike lanes, and there was enormous support for protected bike lanes and for considering how this bridge and the surrounding area could be changed to enable better transit for drivers, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians.

It is possible to have a solution that benefits multiple parties - many other cities have been successful in this area. And trying to discount people's opinions and ideas by anonymously calling them dumb isn't doing anyone a favor either.
