They removed the center lane, but it's still two-way traffic; and they narrowed the traffic lane by painting the white lines for the parked cars, making it more dangerous for the moving vehicles and the bicycles, who are supposed to share the road.

 Unless the ultimate goal is to make it "bikes only"?
 
This is the Department of Transportation Alternatives trying to drive residents crazy on purpose and also malign them for owning their own vehicles, because that sign has no merit. This is not a "bike boulevard" it's what called a "shared street" which I and thousands of others have been riding on for decades before the regulatory captured DOTA came up with a brand for them.
