I routinely read criticisms of these measures, as if these plans have just been drawn up. Consultation for this route began back in 2018. And although the detailed plans have just been published within the last few years, the council (under different leadership) had a stated aim for developing an eventual safe citywide cycling network back in 2010.
It's very much a long term ambition, building upon years of transportation and city development strategies. Albeit one that has growing impetus to be carried through quickly, given the context of a climate crisis and pledges the city has made to reducing local pollution, GHG emissions, and making our roads and streets safer.

Well, yes. That is literally part of the solution. |
