I think they look great. Not sure if they used the same material, but I used to bike commute down 3rd street SW downtown every day, and it's completely fine to bike on and also seemed completely fine for snow removal.
Almost like the people that do this stuff for a living know a bit about what they're doing in some cases.
No question the construction is a mess, but they all got told to optimize for budget above all else because that's what voters say they want.
