  Travis Perkins Development has major impact on Chisholm Trail.

  We have a letter from the developer outlining their position - let's see if I can attach this...

  There is a lengthy discussion of the Chisholm Trail, the gist of which is that they don't see why they should make any further accommodation for it when it is mainly Network Rail's land that is earmarked for the route. They dangle a small carrot in that they might release the corner piece of land to mitigate the pinch point you identified - but only if this application is given the go-ahead.

  • shared-use

  There is a suggestion of a group looking at issues for those cycling in the A10 corridor between M11 J11 and Royston. This is, in part about cycling along the corridor, but mainly about access between villages and access to rail stations. Of course the A10 north of Cambridge has LSTF money, but there are currently few funds available for improvements in this area.

• Addenbrookes cycle shelter transformed into smoking shelter

  Forwarded message:
  
  I noticed that half of the bicycle shelter was fenced off, and I wondered whether we may be getting some new racks. In Connect I read the Trust was considering two tier bike racks so I was half expecting we would get these. Today however I learnt that the area will be transformed into a smoking shelter! Is this true?
  
  I think it is fair to state 30% of the people working in the S-block cycle into work. Losing half of our cycle parking facilities is not very helpful. The area is heavily used and often overflowing with bikes.
  
  If the area will indeed be turned into a smoking shelter, can you please explain why this decision was made and why it was not communicated to the staff concerned?
  

  This is outrageous and a good press story. Robin - are you up for this?

• Milton Road Housing Development in Back Gardens 12/1537/FUL

  • development
  • cyclepath
  • newdevelopment
  • newdevelopments
  • planning

  A new development is proposed behind 231-247 Milton Road in Cambridge.

  The entrance driveway / road will need to cross the popular off-road cyclepath on Milton Road.

  The crossing needs to be designed to be cycle friendly; ie. level for cyclists, with good visibility for cars to be able to see cyclists on the path, and with cars required to give way for cyclists.

  There is a need to watch this development through the planning process.

  Alternatively an access to the development from Woodhead Drive might be the safer option.

  There appears to be potential for a cycle and pedestrian route through the site; but that is not currently planned for.

  My article on the proposals is at:

• Wadloes Road - Ditton Fields - Path Lighting

  Created by Richard Taylor 04 November, 2012 02:02 // 0 threads

  • lighting
  • cyclepath

  The path between Wadloes Road and Ditton Fields is popular with pedestrians and cyclists.

  It is unlit though, and as it has buildings and high hedges on either side sofeels enclosed and it is much darker on the pathway than it is out in the open.

  Lighting on this pathway would I think make it feel safer, and I think would actually improve safety for example through helping cyclists spot pedestrians earlier.

• Improving Barton Road cycle provision

  Martin Lucas-Smith 01 November, 2012 16:32 // 3 threads

  • barton-road
  • shared-use

  The county council is reviewing parking arrangements along the Barton Road, between Newnham Road and Grantchester Street (do they not mean Grantchester Road?). They say that in some places - parking restricts traffic flow along Barton Road, although the only restrictions I've ever seen have been due to tail-backs from Fen Causeway.

  They are proposing three options, one with minor changes and the loss of 3-5 parking spaces; one with more yellow lines in narrower sections, the loss of 10-12 parking spaces and signs prohibiting coach parking in places; and one replacing all parking on the south (westbound) side with an on-road cycle path, and the loss of about 50 parking spaces.

  I assume we would push for the third option, but why not Dutch-style hybrid lanes (on both sides, perhaps)? Ah yes, that'll cost more than painting a white line. Oh well.

  There's an exhibition at Cambridge Rugby Club on Grantchester Rd on Nov 7th (1-8pm) and you can respond online at
  http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/transport/projects/Cambridge/BartonRoadParkingReview.htm
  until Nov 23rd.

• Route obstructed at Lammas Land

  Created by Jon Warbrick 04 October, 2013 09:54 // 1 thread

  • obstruction

  The link from Barton Road to the Lammas Land car park (and the car park itself) have been closed to all use by the County Council for some development work. This is a buisy cycle route, and no effort has been put into providing a diversion. Currently most people are cycling across the grass behind the hedge beside the road (though how long this will remain possible if it rains is unclear); an alternative is to use other paths across Lammas Land, but they are narrow, not actually marked for cycling, and it's further.

  According to a notice at the junction with Barton Road this work will continue to the start of December. There was and is no warning when approaching from east of the river.
