I believe that the works on the traffic island were to remove the railings. Wasn't the bike attached to those railings?

Here is an article about what is going on in the area with regard to these guard-rails. I don't know enough to have a view as to whether removing them in this location will improve cycle safety but I personally prefer to have an escape route on to the pavement.
