Looks like an interesting hybrid design between a fully buffered bike lane, and a “traditional” door zone bike lane. In general I am in favor of bike lanes, and this one looks like it has the potential to encourage more people to ride instead of drive. More bike riders will be valuable to the businesses in the north end, as well as lowering traffic congestion, lowering noise, freeing up more parking spaces for those who MUST drive, and in general making the north end more like it used to be, a friendly walking/biking community, not an off-ramp of 93.
