I'd take my chances with the cars rather than the building that's going to fall down at some point in the relatively near future. I'm not sure how well shared streets works in general but in this case I think it's OK as a temporary measure.

I could have been clearer. The parked car beside the fencing forced pedestrians to walk past in the middle of King Street in traffic. I would have thought that some provision could have been made for pedestrians, e.g. some cones or temporary curb to create a narrow path around the site, especially considering the proximity to City Hall.

Or, one could take radical action and cross over to the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street.

Or even a sign instructing pedestrians to cross to the other side of King as is standard practice at construction sites where it's not practical to provide safe passage for pedestrians.
