Bike path reroute

I'm glad that they're rerouting the bike path around the Rite Aid parking lot. But the way they're doing it is kind of surprising:

Bike path reroute
This is a whole bunch of accidents waiting, not for very long, to happen. It's really tricky to navigate on a bike even at low speed with no other traffic.

And it doesn't need to be that way; they could have taken down those bollards and curved it through where the wood chips are. Possibly smoothing out the other transition would require sacrificing the nearmost parking space.

wait til they put a fence at the end, forcing traffic to not just jump the curb. oh yeah.

or this is their subtle way to say "okay, slow down zone" until the path picks up across the square?

certainly that path doesn't look like it can support normal speed traffic for the path, esp given the width. crush point.
