How we do it here

The standard here seems to be (I haven't checked design specifications) Portland Cement Concrete for the pedestrian parts and Bituminous Concrete (blacktop, tarmac, "asphalt") for the cycle parts. Sometimes instead of cast-in-place PCC they use 4x4 or 6x6 concrete pavers.

On the street where my office is located, there's a "cycletrack", and I got to see how this was built. The cycletrack, curbside tree/street furniture RoW, and pedestrian walkway are all built on top of a unitary cast-in-place PCC "bathtub". This is then covered with a layer of blacktop which forms the base layer for the pavers. Once the pavers are installed and locked together with polymeric sand, another layer of blacktop is laid between two stringer courses to make the cycletrack, which is then painted with arrows and cycle icons.
