I also believe that the curb continuation is to channel water into the drain and not onto the trail. I agree that what they did on Glasgow is rediculous! I would never ride on that.
Why is it necessary though? The road never had a curb there?
Moreover, it's still a curb, and it's not even a flush curb, it still has a lip large enough, that even the day it's built, when it is the smoothest it will ever be (because a decade from now, it will be much much worse), it will still require a person on a road bike to slow way down, or risk a pinch flat and a wallop in the crotch. The curbs the region insists on putting everywhere are a big reason why the separated infrastructure doesn't work well for road cyclists.
