That's what I was told, yes. The segment east of William will be quite short; it will only be between William and Ogilvie Square; presumably to allow a connection to bike parking there or a potential future cycling link south on Nicholas or east on Besserer. (Come to think of it, Besserer would make a good parallel bike route to Rideau if they made some improvements- like adding a westbound lane- west of King Edward. East of King Edward, it's a pretty quiet street).
There is no traffic signal at Nicholas, so William is the last opportunity to cross. Also, the previous designs showed a westbound bus layby just east of William, so there would be no room for it to remain on the north side.
