Cycling in Waterloo Region

Does anyone know the story with the bike signals at the intersection of King and the Eastbound 85 Exit ramp/Manulife?

There are pavement markings and signals hung, but the signals are bagged and it seems to have been that way for nearly a year according to street view.

Of course the next time I go through the intersection after posting about it the signals appear to have been unbagged! Still not sure why they were left covered all summer, but at least they are functional now.

I don't think there are many things in our region which more concretely demonstrate how little idea engineers have about ped and cycling infra, than having tactile plates in a bike lane.
