I'm guessing that the alternative to diagonal parking is parallel parking with door-zone bike lanes.
This is a classic problem in bikeway advocacy. It's very hard to make bikeways continuous AND well-designed. Here, the choice is between no bikeway or a poor bikeway.
Even without a dedicated bikeway, there are still generally two choices for the cyclist: Take the lane, or take the sidewalk.
