Sounds good in principle, but that divider would need to extend into the intersection, because otherwise taxis would do what they always do, turn the second from the curb lane into a second right turn lane. That happens all the time on Wacker turning right onto Madison. When i cab it to work, I'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time my driver will do that - and I'm just hypocritical enough to be glad when they do.
