Forgive me, but I don't see all the great things that are evident from green bike lanes other than the colour to distinguish it from the regular road surface. Instead of making a big deal out of the "professionals" that are required to paint the roadway they could spend more money instead on actual bike infrastructure.
It seems a little pointless to waste all the paint on coloring the lane when they could invest that money on extending the bike infrastructure. On a note related to Florida bicycling, if you are interested in a quiet vacation to a place with Gulf beaches and lots of bike lanes, check out Sanibel!!

"Highly specialized job"?
Just have a look at Guadalajara's (MX) "guerilla style" bike lanes...
