It’s happened – Newarke St cycle lane

It’s finally finished – and those pesky lamp posts have gone. It has to be said that what’s good is very good – a wide, smooth surface where cars, pedestrians and cycles are given their own space – and the link at the Magazine end doesn’t involve waiting ages on the traffic island. On the downside, still to be sorted is a safe entry and exit to the bike lane at the Welford Place end and there is still a problem with people using it a short term parking. Dave’s video shows the problems at the top end. Here we illustrate why the lane needs to be made harder to park a vehicle on.
