From a safety point of view I think this is 100% wrong.
The car should enter the bike lane to make the right turn and block the cyclist from going straight. We would never allow a car to turn from the middle lane across the right hand lane of a car going straight. That is idiocy and that is what you have if you follow the cities current rules.
The correct way has to send the bike around the left hand side of the car and the car should yeild to the bike when it is entering the bike lane in the dashed section. This clearly identifes the point where the bicycles and cars interact and if car lane changing doesn't see the cyclist the cyclist has several bailout options. If the car doesn't see the cyclist while making the right turn the cyclist hits the car and has very limited outs.
