Similarly another problem that I noticed is where Eastbound cyclists are dumped out at Sherman when the cycle track ends. There doesn't appear to be any markings for a safe exit, cyclists are forced going the wrong direction (South) on a pointless 2 block one way SB stretch of Sherman (it returns to 2 way South of Wilson). Is the city planning on addressing this somehow? I did notice a new pole installed a few feet South of the intersection on the West side of Sherman but I can't imagine what it's for. Wouldn't really make sense for bicycle signals unless they do extend the lane Northbound (the wrong way) on Sherman.

If I could put forward my own suggestion it would be for bike sharrows and signage on Cannon Street, East of Sherman. The traffic isn't as bad as it was on Cannon, West of Sherman before the cycle track but it's still 2 lanes EB and one lane WB with street parking on the North curb which can be pretty hectic for cyclists. In the interests of the whole "Pan-Am" precinct thing, there should be sharrows to carry cyclists onto and off of the cycle track, at least past the stadium (preferably to roughly Kenilworth where Cannon ends and turns into Britannia).
