Cycling in Waterloo Region

I noticed half of the Joseph St island at Water has been dug up and recreated. Any idea why they would do this? Seems very strange.

Side note: I wish this space wasn't wasted with concrete. It would be nice to have a splash of green here.

Yeah, this is pretty confusing. I'm not sure if there was a change order requested, or a mistake following the original plans, or if they perhaps for some reason felt constructing it this way made sense. Very strange. Green definitely would have been nice here, especially given the loss of trees on the other side.

I think part of this is as a result in the change of direction of Joseph. I know that was under pressure from Vic Park neighbourhood...who again, have caused significant harm to this project anyway, which really is their modus operandi at this point.
