Seems like common sense to me. I think double parkers would learn pretty quick with a rapid response tow truck on duty for the first 6-12 months to tow violators post haste if they block the lane. Which is not something that happens often now. No reason to think it would be more frequent with the streetcar.

It is indeed crucial to route the streetcar on MLK.

The shared lanes for stretches isn't that uncommon in other places. The new South Lake Union streetcar in Seattle shares 2 travel lanes in a few places on that corridor without too much trouble. And MLK isn't a street with a great ton of traffic all day long, so delays would be minimal. The fact that we're only talking about 2 stops makes a big difference.
