Poor modal share is relative, don't you think. In decades past, this was a legal, full-time bike lane and the modal share of this city was indeed much higher than it is today, so in that respect you are correct. However, it's current bike modal share is higher than where you live.
Interestingly enough, this is a street that connects a large bike path network that serves about 15% of this city to the downtown core and, on weekends, the extremely popular farmer's market.
