I haven't been down there since the change, maybe I can do it today and post a lil trip report.
FWIW, This was brought up in the public comments on the project. The bike lanes seem to be between the sidewalks and the bus stops in several places, and overall there isn't a firm physical distinction between bikes and pedestrians. It seems to me that you're going to have to ride more slowly than you would if we had proper bike lanes, and there are going to be a lot of accidents with bikes hitting peds.
Also, cross traffic is still going on and the center of the street is reserved for buses (if I understand correctly) and light rail, and there are still cars (taxis, &c.), so from a bike-commuter POV I don't think it will be much more convenient than before, however, it's potentially much safer.
But again, I haven't actually been down there yet myself.
