Kathryn (and others with similar feelings and experience) - I hope you have expressed your concerns and shopping habits to the owners of those businesses. That is one of the primary ways to get this resolved - get the business community to see that bike lanes will IMPROVE access to their businesses.
Right now they fear the Two-way Left Turn Lane (TWLTL) because they think people won't be able to make a left to get to their store. Or people won't drive on Sherman at all because it will be congested or confusing. All unfounded. It will be easier to drive and make a turn on Sherman with the new design. We have to speak up instead of accepting second class status on the road or in parking accommodations. I assure you that people driving speak up when they don't like the traffic or parking situation near a business!
