In case anyone was curious how close to the road/parking the bollard has been placed, the answer is, as close to the bike lane as is reasonably possible. I suspect they couldn't put them on the curb because the surface isn't level, and possibly there are reasons it couldn't go on the edge of the concrete. But my guess is its simply the usual regional engineers policy of "give cars the maximum possible space and affordance in all circumstances"...being implemented in the pedestrian and bike dominated location of uptown.
It's not the end of the world, but it's small things like this that show just where the minds of our engineers are. And council, even those pro-bike individuals, seem blind to it.
