No tape measure, but here's a bike for scale:
Weber St Laurel crossing island, this time with a bike for scale.

I would charitably describe this as "snug". pic.twitter.com/gooAM5bmSj
It's definitely snug. There's more space for multiple bikes on the island than it seemed at first.
The cars are spooked a little into slowing down at the sight of a person in the middle of the road. Ideally, there would be bollards installed on the ends. I suspect they will just get the standard "keep right" signposts, like you see on these islands in other places, such as Philip St.
Lol, okay, so which one is worse, the one on Phillip St. is almost more insulting because there is actually 3 meters of space (a whole lane) but they only built it tiny.
I can do nothing but shake my head at this point.
Given the apparent size next to a bike, it really looks like less than 2 meters.
