The lack of foot tunnels is actually the best improvement, allowing peds to mix with traffic (not the best thing to says!), and traffic will end up being wary of peds crossing the road etc.
Currently E&C often have fast traffic because the driver know that peds don't cross that section of road, just under it, thereforth they don't need to watch out for peds.
once they've (drivers) gotten used to peds occasionally crossing the road, then the behaviour would make it easier on cyclists methinks.
of course all that is purely speculation.
