Seems like basically a wash to me.  Possibly more pedestrian conflict, but less time riding in the dooring zone.

>>but right now the southbound bike lane is separated from the sidewalk by a row of parked cars and visibility is thus pretty good
Unless the parked cars are actually a bunch of huge trucks/SUVs, in which case there is no visiblity between pedestrians and bikes.
