Note that it’s required for safety that the big concrete block be on the other side of the barrier from the motor vehicles, but not required for safety that another barrier prevent cyclists from crashing or falling into the block, nor is it required that the path be moved over prior to installation of the block. It’s not even required to put it as close as possible to the barrier to minimize the amount of width taken away from the path.
What an absurd situation. Imagine them plopping that down in the middle of a street. Of course, now that it's pointed out, they'll probably just close the path and post a detour of several kilometers and "solve" the problem that way.
"Temporary" detour, oh, the long term "plan" is to fix it... where temporary is forever and plan is hypothetical.
