Drivers are not accustomed to checking for overtaking traffic to their left when making a left turn.
I think two way bike lanes do have a higher injury rate but I think the real problem/solution is designing safe intersections regardless of type of bike lane.
I don't disagree, but that doesn't change the fact that a one way bike lane would have cyclists traveling the same direction (eastbound) in the same location. Since it's a one way road, the bike lane doesn't have to be on the left, and given the connection to the park, there's a good argument for it to be on that side.
Regardless, I don't think it matters, drivers don't check to the right when turning right either.
