For the straight way, it is pulled in to leave room for the car parking, but it's divided from the pedestrian path by a grass covered area - both the bike lane and the pedestrian path are wide enough.
Those are niceties. I'm talking about the video as a whole. Not much thought seems to have gone into designing the system so that cars can't park on it, it's not routed in front of doors for stores, it's not overloaded with pedestrians, and that it is wide enough.

Looking at the video, it looks more like the system was grafted onto an existing sidewalk system.
