The author stated that a sign should be BEFORE the end of the lane. When riding, it's not clear that your lane will all of a sudden disappear so that you have time to slow down and change 'modes'. That wouldn't be allowed for the equivalent car lane without advance notice/signage.
The "bike lane ends" sign is...at the END (almost as bad as it saying 'bike lane has ended). And, it conflicts with the messaging on the road itself which features a "this is a bike lane and its going right" marking even up to the end." That marking is trying to say "this is turning into a combined pedestrian/bike pathway" but that's not clear and it makes it extremely dangerous for pedestrians.
Here's the streetview of the bike lane in question:
