There was brief discussion about that over in the Roads thread:

Sure enough, it's bike lanes and a regular 1.5m sidewalk on each side. It would have been much better for cycling if it were no bike lanes, but MUTs on each side. But I get it, the bike lanes let them have the asphalt width the engineers want, while also checking off the "bike infrastructure" box.
A very big missed opportunity.
