A few streets here re-introduced street parking explicitly as a traffic calming measure (in addition to a separate bike lane behind the parked cars).

I know it works. I can tell it works. But I still don’t really like it.

There’s pretty solid research about these things from the past 30 years or so. At this point, ignoring literature is just rank anti-intellectualism.

Good luck, sounds like you’re going to need it.

Wait, how do “bike lanes worsen traffic congestion”?
