Are you sure?
Again, I drove it yesterday and in some parts where the concrete barriers are up, parking is once again allowed at the concrete barrier, with the 2 lanes in the middle + the right side lane. It's not completely done yet though. There are some parts where you still can't park on the bike lane barrier.
FlamesKickAss might be right though, not sure whether the extra lane is lost during rush hour.
Either way, I'm really excited for these bike lanes. I'm one of the cyclists that took polak's advice for cyclists ("if you're scared of riding on the road, then don't ride at all."), and now I hope to get back into it a bit more. Get some more experience/skills in a slightly safer environment than before.
