Would the bus lanes be bus only 24/7?
They could be or they could not. No formal plan at this time.

Also, if there's going to be camera enforcement, it needs to be far more clear that you're not supposed to drive in the lane than what's shown on 7th/9th. Painting the entire lane a different color would be one way to do that.

Agreed. Paint it a different color or with clear markings.

Wouldn't it make more sense to dedicate bus lanes on the future streetcar route and then eventually turn that lane over to a dedicated streetcar lane? It doesn't make sense to have streetcars stuck in traffic on K ST while buses whizz by on their own lanes on H.

There is a much bigger plan for K Street that is more long-term. DDOT didn't get stimulus funding for it though. The streetcar is still years away and the bus problem on I and H is more immediate and can be helped with less than a full street reconstruction.
