It looks fine and better.
But that sign is not enforceable or matches the pavement markings.
There is no stop control, it's a yield condition (which the yield markings indicate)

What do you find offensive about them? There is no stop control there, no ped signals - it's a yield condition.
Similar to crossing any live lane of vehicle traffic.

TWO!
1. Cyclists permitted to use leading pedestrian intervals & PXOs
Saves over a million $ of cycling budget on signals & eliminates needing council approval for so many cycling things.
2. Permit bidirectional cycling on all 1-way local streets, ala Paris.
Both make roads safer for everyone.

For Drainage - to help ensure water gets to the catchbasins.
In a full road reconstruction we could have added catchbasins in the road, but they all in the bikeway at the curb
Without those gaps, the water on the road can't get to them.
Similar to how we leave gaps between the modular curbs.

The manufacturer is selling the fact that MMAX can be applied in an extended construction season .. but are only selling the Hot end of the season.
We use it here because it can also be applied when it's really cold (until the roads are salted, then all bets are off)

Similar to the lavender corners on Bloor Street West - we chose solid colours that do not have any traffic meaning.
Yeah, we could have used grim grey or boring beige
