Similar problem here. In a repaving/restriping project on a street with parking on one side, the idiotic traffic planners/engineers decided to put a hatched buffer strip between the travel lane and the bike lane that does not have adjacent parking rather than using that space to move the door-zone bike lane further from the parked cars. The result is that cyclists in one direction face a larger intersection hazard by being pushed further into the gutter and cyclists in the other direction who don't know any better will be riding in the door zone. (There's no way to get out of the door zone without staying out of the bike lane altogether, which is what I do.)

Cyclists just aren't hit by overtaking traffic on 25 mph roads very often. They are, however, regularly whacked at intersections and by car doors. I sure wish the traffic planners understood this. Then again, maybe they do and this is just a way to get us out of their way, as in permanently.
