• Dangerous hidden stakes on cycle path off Madingley road

  Created by Richard Folley 24 November, 2020 16:55 // 1 thread

  • dangerous-obstruction-by

  This is a long term issue for me - at the beginning of the 1st lockdown in March I turned into this path and my bike wheel hit a small solid wooden stake hidden under plants. Although I managed to remain upright the sudden jolt caused a sharp pain in my right upper arm. Since then, despite physiotherapy, the arm muscle has not recovered & has remained painful & weak. 

  I guess that the stakes were placed there by a local resident aiming to protect flowers/plants. I wonder if anyone else has noticed or experienced a similar incident?

• Chesterton Recreation Ground - Wheeled Sports Facility

  • consultation

  In 2017, councillors approved the use of Section 106 developer contributions for a new wheeled-sports facility on Chesterton recreation ground.

  We consulted on proposals in 2019. Your responses suggested support for the proposal, and identified some opportunities for improvement. We have revised the proposals to address these.

  The proposed facility is aimed at young people aged 4 to 14. It comprises a continuous circuit of turns and jumps, to appeal to a variety of wheeled-sports users including BMX and mountain bikes, skateboards and scooters, and roller skates.

  It’s aimed at beginners and users of intermediate skill, with the intention that they can graduate to using other, more challenging facilities elsewhere in Cambridge.

• Lack of joined up information on Council websites

  Created by Heather Coleman 28 February, 2012 09:29 // 1 thread

  • missing-information
  • website

  I've just sent a sharp email to the Council. It reads as below. If the council can't do joined up information on their own websites, how do they expect people to make these modal shifts in transport that they are so keen on?

  "Dear Parking services,
  I've just done a google search on this.

  http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=park+st+car+park+ca
  mbridge&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=eZdMT-vbLsnu8QPw7pHXAg

  first item says "multi-story car park with cycle parking and pushchairs
  for loan".

  However, when you then go to the Park St car park page, it says nothing
  about either cycle parking being available, nor about the pushchair loan
  scheme. How about a link to

  http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/ccm/content/transport-and-streets/cycling-and
  -walking/cycle-parks.en

  on the website, so we don't have to do a separate search, so that when
  people go to the Park St website, they can get all of its features? They
  may even then decide to cycle into town rather than drive.

  I was looking for this information as I was just emailing a friend who
  lives in Chesterton and has a nine month old child, who I wasn't sure
  would be aware of this scheme, which she may find useful. However, if we
  have to spend five minutes doing exactly the correct google searches, it
  counts as a "secret facility" apart from those in the know.

  I wasn't aware, for example, that you could also get pushchairs at the
  Grand Arcade one. This information needs better dissemination, and
  linking from within the car park and other public transport pages, so
  that people can make a properly informed decision about their transport
  choices when visiting the city. This, surely, is the way to get modal
  shifts in people's transport choices?"

  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.

  Could such a network become an interesting partner for the county planners?

  Would politicians be able to hear us better if we speak from a position of regional awareness, a a group of groups?

  Would it help the elected to understand that things are changing on our roads?

  Could such a network support constituent groups, facilitate exchange between these groups, become a more important player in the national context?

  Could such a network attract its own funding?

• signage on cycle-pedestrian path next to Trumpington allotments, Cambridge

  Created by Robert Asher 11 August, 2013 16:19 // 1 thread

  • missingsigns

  Hello, I'm wondering how many other Cambridge cyclists have shared the experience I've had (about once per month now) regarding a particular elderly lady who insists that bikes are not allowed on the "footpath" adjacent to the Trumpington allotments, between Shelford Rd & the new busway in CB2. This path seems clearly demarcated as a shared pedestrian-cycle path on the cycle maps provided at the council link (below). However, it is not clearly labeled as such on the path itself, leading her to become quite angry with any cyclist who gets near her & her dog while they're out walking (and obstructing the path to underscore her point). "It's a footpath" she yells, and storms away.
  So my questions are 1) am I correct in interpreting the council map (below) as permitting bikes on this path and 2) how might one go about requesting proper signage, clearly saying bikes & pedestrians are both welcome?
  Thanks for any feedback, Robert
