Looking at my photo above, I would guess that buses will travel AND stop in the current right travel lane. The "wider sidewalk" and street lighting, shelters, TVMs, etc. will necessitate the taking of the current "shoulder" area that buses pull into.
The big question is what happens between the two bus stops... is it an exclusive transit lane? I imagine the curb locations, taxi stand, etc. in front of Marriott won't change, but I don't think it's a major impediment to bus travel today. If that right travel lane is signed/painted for buses/taxis only, that would be great.
As for the Mayo Clinic Square stop, boy they really missed an opportunity to just build a recessed "shelter" into the building itself, instead of having an external transit shelter on the sidewalk. The stop was (still is?) closed for a long time during construction there. The old stop had no official shelter, but there was a canopy/overhang with movie posters in it that substituted for a shelter.
