A thank you to @CambsCC! Work to improve signs at a Histon Guided Busway crossing has also removed an unnecessary barrier, improving the accessibility through this link. https://t.co/2PxJkyWjHP

Vision Park, Histon - barriers at the far end of this path are clearly meant to exclude cycles.
These barriers are clearly meant to block cycle access to Chivers Way and Vision Park, although the companies there have enough cycle parking.

Trees have been cleared to build steps from Orchard Park to the A14 interchange at last - but no ramp, as far as I can see.
Start of reasonably wide shared-use path to the A14 interchange - but there's plenty of space to make it all wide enough.

Would it be useful to build a short link to the dead-end road on the north side of The Green?
Road closure and link to shared-use path
Private road, clearly used by local dog-walkers - no use to cyclists, but one day it could link to the Cottenham road.
Somehow most of the width of this road has been privatised with just a narrow footpath left.

Firstly this road is still two-way for cycling, and secondly I'm not convinced it's a one-way road just because of the pop-up closure at the far end - I suspect residents may still come out here.
