The problem is you need both the lane where the bus will stop AND the pavement that the passengers will load to/from (both separate from the bike lane). There is no existing right side parking lane to put the bus island into. They'd have to switch the parking from left side of the street to right, or take enough parking out from the left side and have the lanes curve into it after Albert.
