I've complained about that road sign at the roundabout and moved it myself a couple of times. It's taken for granted that you can obstruct cyclepaths and footpaths with signage aimed at motorists.

Your last few lines are relevant to many parts of Greater London as rebuilding and changes seem to be going on in many areas, and for some time.
From your photos it looks as if the new cycle lanes are much better than the previous attempts.

Sometimes I think it'll be lovely when everything's finished. But increasingly I suspect it never will be, as the perpetual rebuilding cycle continues.
There. Fixed it for you. And yes, depressing that the Greenway is no closer to being fully re-opened after all these years.
Here's some weaponised self referential signage:
"Cyclists: Caution. Signage in Cycleway"

"right up to the big holes above the pipes, "
I guess that's the pipes containing the river.
Any chance of a photo?

All this never ending work going on and I thought we were in austerity.
Perhaps George Osborne better get down here and tell them to wrap it up - no money?

The only reason the Bow Flyover got put in plus the Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road and all the anti-pedestrian stuff like pro-car lights, was because the area contained poor people who didn't matter, now rich people are moving in the money gets spent making it nice.
Look at the inability to get the Archway Road widening completed, where the poor people lived at Archway everything is destroyed for the road widening, further up towards Highgate the scheme comes to a grinding halt.

And at the western end of the [this word and the next seven censored] SuperHighway, is the Aldgate chaos. So bad that TWO bus routes are no longer serving Aldgate, another one may possibly be withdrawn from there until works are completed (how long is 'for ever' in real terms please?), and many other bus routes now turn short.
The Cyclists get this for peanuts - no licences to drive, no insurance, no medical fitness - I like cycles but am less keen on their owners - and my buses to and from wherever are slowed for them, diverted by them, cut up by them. I know the environmental argument, but the frustrations didn't come as part of the deal. Infused with the spirit of Xmas - maybe Scrooge wasn't such an evil bloke after all.
Best wishes to DG and contributors - normal dis-service resumes in 2016.

Is it really Sugarhouse Lane?
streetmap.co.uk (my preferred mapping website) puts that in Aberdeen. The road on an island between Bow and Stratford is called Sugar House Lane. But the web isn't always right, of course.
As a local, Mr DG, could you check and let us all know?
I foresee a full-length blog post telling us which signs use which form of the name!

As you yourself mention the reason these places are closed are for important works for Thames Water and Crossrail. When these works have been finished it'll change. I'm sure everyone moaning will never use the facilities and services that maintainence and improvements are for do they.
