The only thing better than a protected bike lane, is a protected bike lane with artworks by local artists! The new Lansdowne Avenue cycle track murals are looking good.

Shoutout to Street Art Toronto, Cycle Toronto and the City of Toronto Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Unit #BikeTooter

Photo of a Toronto highway-esque street during daylight (Lansdowne Ave). Two protected bike lanes on either side of the street are shown. There's a cyclist and 2 cars, all in motion and using their respective lanes, in the photo. There is a TON of colourful artwork in the photo that demands attention. It's on both sides (car and bike facing) of the half-metre tall bike lane barrier walls. It's also on the 3 or 4 metre high underpass-like walls of the street. About 150 metres of street artwork is capture in the photo

This is a partial solution, but as you said tradesmen and the like would still be driving trucks. Designing barrier that can adequately stop a truck would be the best imo. Barriers like that would also probably reduce road noise for the cyclists.
