Work started recently on the Duke St cycle tracks between Victoria St and Water St. Duke St east of Frederick will be after that according to the Engage page. Annoyingly this means the existing cycle tracks on Water St near Duke St are closed for the 3rd time since opening, if I'm counting correctly.

I'm confused by the construction drawings in a few parts. What are the intended transitions where the cycle tracks end at Water St and at Frederick St - did they just give up on having it make sense? There is a protected corner at Water & Duke, but heading east just leads into seemingly nothing.
The transition at Victoria St, especially heading west, doesn't make sense to me unless it's predicated on the Victoria St cycle tracks or multi use trail existing. Not to mention a 40KPH area that lasts for like 20 meters, or two back to back "begins" signs without an "ends" sign as you enter Victoria St (surely that must be a mistake), but don't get me started on that again.
