It has a number of advantages: being inside the parking lane (and also typically having a reasonable buffer between parked cars and the bike lane) reduces the risk of dooring, being inside of the parking lane and having a curb in other situations reduces the chances of vehicles parking in the bike lane, and being inside the parking lane provides separation from car traffic making the lane feel safer.
Whenever I ride on Margaret, I kind of wish they had tried something like this. Keeping the bike lane along the curb seems like a nicer idea than going out and around the empty parking spaces.
