This section of Bottle Bank is poorly paid out from both a cyclist and a driver's perspective. There's a pedestrian refuge just before Curzon Place (Hilton), and it's unclear which lane the cars should be in. Could one of the lanes going downhill be made a cycle lane?
Also, it's unclear whether cyclists travelling north up Bottle Bank or not? Or whether the safer preferred route is to come up the hill via Church Street. If the latter, there needs better signage for the cyclist down at Bridge Street to head towards The Sage before turning right up Church Street. Also these are some steep hills so segregated cycle lanes/shared use would be very much preferred!!!
