Road design, safety and Vision Zero
Also, just because I'm "that guy" and because I cycle through this intersection pretty much daily, here's an example from the Netherlands of the "right" way to transition to a cyclepath around a roundabout:

Notice, NO curbs for cyclists, just a smooth connection.

To be honest, I don't really understand why our engineers have problems with things like this. It seems to be a struggle for them to understand how to do drainage properly, but it's not like the Netherlands is a dry place with no drainage issues. FWIW...I almost never seen water pooling the way we do in Ontario.
