A triangle of new paving has been placed to the side of the large barrier at Buchanan Wharf, because people were walking across the flower bed to get past the barrier. This is also the cycle diversion for NCN756 until the cycle track at … [more]

[Image taken 4.5.21] Toft Green, York. City of York staff cycle parking. Secure by Design recommend smaller clumps of racks as they give oversight. But perhaps this site is sufficiently secure that is not a concern. However the aisle is too … [more]

[Image taken 22.5.21] Marygate car park, York. The cones have been moved. They no longer protect that space where the white car is from being parked on: see #169488. They also now reduce the space for people to pass through and are an … [more]

[Image taken 4.5.21] Tanner Row, York. The problems (lack or only difficult access to/from the Sheffields) could have been prevented or mitigated by the aisle between the racks and the Tier scooter/cycle parking bays confirming to best … [more]

Another example of how this junction design needs to be revisited. And why the whole of this place stinks of car fumes. The pollution here is so bad it utterly stinks!

See clip at http://youtu.be/VkVyN0tpZXc An update from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89AFT7Fki9Q It looks like someone has successfully pointed out that the barriers are too close together. Although I'd still suggest there's a better way … [more]

See clip at http://youtu.be/89AFT7Fki9Q As I say in the clip, Cambridge Institute of Astronomy does provide well for cycling to work here and through routes. It's just that their approach to new development seems to be stuck in an era … [more]
