The steel pillars make that a nearly unique situation. Their presence
slices the paved area up into unusually wide lanes. But the existing situation allows 14' to be shared by bikes and cars. That's normally
enough room to share.
I'm aware of many problems that have arisen from bike lanes hidden at
the curb side of parked cars, but this situation looks so unusual I
can't judge what would be the final effects.
Street view makes it look like riding through a weird industrial area,
not like a normal street at all.
That is a poor solution to a non-problem. Cars should park nex to the curb and the bike lane should be on the street side. It takes no more room and is safer.
