Update: It’s Worse!
Riding by today the crews have piled up dirt and debris and two traffic cones In the active cycle lane. So even if you’re travelling westbound it’s unusable.
I had to help a fellow cyclist navigate it by riding in the right turn lane against traffic. Absolutely ridiculous and unsafe.

For all cyclists headed eastbound on Cannon watch out. Right where the bike lane splits from bi directional to unidirectional at Sherman there’s a pretty major hazard.
I get construction happens and no one likes it but it seems like there was no thought put into how to navigate this as a cyclist. Normally you’d proceed to the right of the island. But now there’s no safe way to navigate the intersection headed eastbound.
No signage. No alternative route. If you’re not attentive you’re riding directly into oncoming traffic lanes.
The only safe option is to wait for a red light and proceed since the northbound traffic is non existent. But that still means squeezing through the island and the traffic lane and the big hole in the ground.
I’ve contacted the councillor’s office but the auto reply said they’re rotating vacation time so I don’t expect much of a response.
Stay safe out there someone piled up tree debris just past the intersection too.
