Jon Spencer on May 22, 2013 12:54 A while ago PCC stated a process of reviewing and redesigning various traffic light controlled junctions across the city. As part of that process Cllr Fazackarley has committed to taking a bike ride around the city with PCF to see which junctions cause problems for cyclists. This ride will take place on the 12th June starting at about 0930. Two things: if you'd like to come along let me know and if you have any thoughts on my first stab at a route for the ride let me know about that too. This route takes in Unicorn Gate, Hope St, Trafalgar Gate, Wharf Road, Kingston Cres, Twyford Avenue, City Bastion, Norway Road, Airport Service Rd, Tangier Rd, Milton Rd / Velder Ave, Albert Rd, Elm Grove and the crossing of Winston Churchill Ave. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2552218 |
