Does anyone have insight on the design of the first ~400m of the Albert St bike lanes, coming from Weber St? I hadn't biked this end of Albert before and it's kind of wtf. Despite the rest of the street being excellent, there are no curbs for the bike lane here, and there is (I think) parking next to the curb instead of floating and protecting the bike lane. It seems like they've added construction pylons where curbs should have been because the paint coming from Weber St is confusing. And the unprotected bike line is quite literally floating in the middle of the road.

And minor gripe compared to above. The extended disappearance of the curb (due to a driveway, though the curbs should still be a lot tighter...) aligning with both a pedestrian island and a bend in the road made getting passed at this exact spot feel like the truck was being encouraged to encroach on the bike lane.
