What is a bicycle boulevard?

Thanks. I live on West Market Street, and it should be great for biking but is not, primarily because of very poor visibility at intersections but also because there is not enough traffic calming (we need speed bumps!). For some reason, the City of Bethlehem allows cars to park all the way up to intersections, while in most cities you are not allowed to park within 30 feet of a stop sign or intersection. In this neighborhood, there is heavy street parking, and people have to roll way out into every intersection to see past parked cars. I really worry all the kids biking to and from school around here because the visibility is so bad.
