In Toronto, one of the major east west bike thoroughfares alongside eastward one way street was moved from the right side to the left, reason being “multiple loading bays on the right side of the street”. As a cyclist and a driver I hate this change - dedicated left turn lanes and signals diminished the throughput, cyclists ignoring dedicated bike signals, car drivers that do not drive through it frequently forget to check left shoulder etc. I can only imagine what kind of cluster is putting the bike lane into the center.

I do think fully separated bike lanes on the sides would be better from a safety and ease of use perspective, but that's a lot more work, and it looks like the businesses complained about the idea of removing their parklet option: a fully separated bike lane would be on an inside edge of the parking spots, pushing them much further from the shops.
