Unnecessary temporary traffic management unsafe for cyclists

Eastbound cycle lane on Fendalton Rd between St Barnabas St & Snowdon Rd has been coned off forcing cyclists into the nearest general traffic lane. Although there is an “Extreme Care Cyclists Merging” sign approaching here, there is no work going on or anything actually affecting the cycle lane – forcing cyclists to “merge” with the cars, trucks & buses seems unnecessary and dangerous. Why doesn’t Connetics (the temporary traffic management contractor) open up the cycle lane by removing the cones & Keep Right arrow when they are not needed?
