Has anyone else had the experience of peds in the bike lane, oblivious to where they are?

I slow down when I bike through there but some oblivious lady walked more in front of me last night when I rang my bell and I had to swerve dangerously.

What is the issue? Fading paint, more public education? A curb or physical barricade just at this location to deter peds from using the lane?

People seem especially oblivious here and I don’t want anyone to get hurt!

the fact you have cars going down bike lanes because they think it's a road and have to install concrete barriers to stop them(tenth line) should be enough context how people are oblivious are in this city
