Today the construction site at SE False Creek appears to be directing cyclists on the Ontario Bike route to use the  sidewalk on 2nd avenue as a detour.  Asking cyclists to use this narrow sidewalk is both dangerous and illegal.   This is clearly in an inadequate cycling facility for a city that claims to be promoting cycling as part of it's “Greenest City” imitative,According to maps published on October 14th the city was supposed have a marked detour in place using 3rd Ave and parts of Quebec street.  It is now two weeks later and this route is still not marked.According to the Host City Olympic transportation plan, page 4:“Some bike routes will be temporarily altered during the 2010 Winter Games to accommodate operational and security needs. Wherever possible, bike route closures will be accommodated by safe and well-marked alternatives.”The current route is neither “safe” nor “well-marked”.When will city be addressing this problem?Is the Olympic Transportation plan already failing?
