'Easy' utilities suspended and undercut, but water main (?) still not addressed: Chisholm Trail underpass works on south side of Newmarket Road

[Image taken 23.2.21] We don't have a garden. We don't want to put compostable kitchen waste into landfill though. So we have a composter. When it fills up, we bag up some of the contents and carry it in our cycle trailer from home - this i ... [more]
The lines of desire - Bicycle and Footprints in the miry clay, where a Segregated Bicycle Lane is desperately needed along St Oswalds Road, Gloucester. Wide roads and narrow paths abound here.
When the culvert is installed and the sheet piles removed, there is still plenty of work to do to link the end of the jetty to the reinstated riverside path.
The sheet-pile enclosure where we think a culvert is being installed for NCN51 to cross the re-aligned Brook. Safety fence, person/equipment lift, and simple bucket etc crane visible - but no way to see progress within.
This is what greets anyone who wants to use the footbridge while the NCN51 riverside jetty and the NCN51 diversion via Newmarket Road are both closed.
[Image taken 18.2.21] Terry Avenue, York. Half-term, during lockdown. A family takes a break while cycling along the motor traffic- (and therefore also noise- and air pollution-) free riverside. They were unaware the route will close to peo ... [more]
There's a proposal to build on these fields between the M11, Barton Road and the Coton Path, from a consortium of Cambridge colleges and the university - see www.southwestcambridge.com

Scaffolding to support utilities above works on the Chisholm Trail underpass. Fixtures will be concreted into the four holes in the foreground to make sure that nothing moves while the digging is underway.
Scaffolding will support utilities when the ground underneath is dug out for the Chisholm Trail underpass.
Good progress on groundwork for the Chisholm Trail approach to the north side of the Newmarket Road underpass.
Entrance to Birch Hill Plantation, off Mansfield Road. Taken from Poulterwell Lane, that leads to Palterton.
Not the largest lorry to be driven into the city centre but I can't help thinking that vehicles of this size and larger (and some that are a bit smaller too) shouldn't be allowed in. This one stopped here for sometime.
Looking towards where the old railway sidings were at Seymour, taken on the River Doe Lea flood bank off Seymour Link Road
Paths across fields from Adin Avenue, Shuttlewood towards Markham Vale. Direct off road route to the industrial estate from a nearby village.
The Life Centre, 235 Washway Road, Sale, M33 4BP . Cycle parking located undercover in car park area for 20 bicycles but partially blocked by equipment. There is a ground floor window that overlooks the parking area. Life Centre is used for ... [more]
Path that leads from Doe Lea /Bramley Vale up the side of the dual carriageway and under the J29 subway towards Heath
[Image taken 5.2.21] During the lockdown in early 2021, people who can get to Monks Cross Park & Ride, York can exercise safely - and in directions almost as far as the eye can see. See also #162549
[Image taken 5.2.21] York, the car parks around Monks Cross Park & Ride offer space to scoot while schools and everywhere except essential shops are closed during the lockdown of early 2021. The surface is smooth tarmac and well drained. In ... [more]
[Photo taken 5.2.21] This wooden gate is on the motor traffic-free access between New Lane and the P&R at Monks Cross, York/Vangarde/the leisure centre... and the community stadium. What is its purpose?
Utilities under the south-side footway, to be negotiated by the Chisholm Trail underpass at Newmarket Road
I think the vehicle at right of shot is on the approach ramp to the Chisholm Trail river bridge - giving an idea of progress so far.
I guess these are piles stabilising the approach ramp to the south side of the Chisholm Trail river bridge
A white van man took the roundabout too fast and ended up in the trees. Police car and ambulance to the right.
(Presumably) survey marks for the location of the Chisholm Trail bridge over the brook and onto Coldham's Common
Utilities - including a big drain pipe? - revealed under the south side footway at the site of the Chisholm Trail underpass
A (presumably permanent) fender keeps boats away from the NCN51 jetty under rail and Trail bridges, but the (presumably temporary) cones remain.
[Image taken 1.2.21] Monks Cross retail park, York. Pavement ends. No drop kerb for people in wheelchairs, using wheeled walkers, with a wheeled shopping bag. See also #162107 #162108 #162109
[Image taken 1.2.21] Monks Cross retail park, York. No drop kerb to assist anyone who might need it and despite the disabled parking spaces opposite. See also #162104, #162108, #162109
[Image taken 1.2.21] Walking route with symbol. By contrast the cycle route 'ends'. Though it is also the 'start'. So why the word and not a cycle symbol as elsewhere eg #156848? See also #162104 #162107 #162109
[Image taken 1.2.21] York, Monks Cross, segregated cycle and pedestrian routes end without a drop kerb despite the family and disabled parking bays opposite. By contrast access from the car park/parking spaces to the shops is kerb free and ... [more]
Basil Brown (played by Ralph Fiennes) does a lot of cycling across Suffolk in 'The Dig' (actually from Rickinghall near Diss to Sutton Hoo).
Old railway line at Staveley that runs from Poolsbrook (Seymour Junction) under TPT to current canal
Beaumont Road gap. Easy to build an attractive active travel route through here and leave the mature trees standing. A route here would shave 1.5km off the route to school, and be entirely on segregated or very low-traffic routes.
Overgrown gap in Beaumont Road for future expansion. An active travel route to Netherhall Farm/GB1 could come through here. Netherhall School is 52m beyond the fenceline. This would provide good access from/to the site from the East.
Designed-for-expansion end of Almoners Avenue. Netherhall Farm site is 15m from the kerb. 39a is on the right. hedge marking end of plot is centre-left.
Best available active travel route from Netherhall Farm (GB1) site. Road designed for exactly this expansion. Provides safe, direct route to shops, schools and town.
Double yellows on Red Cross Lane will contribute to a much-used cycle route near Addenbrooke's, BioMed Campus, and Busway path
There's plenty of room to the right for a good route into Camborne (once one's past the mini-roundabout)
Preparations on the south side of Newmarket Road for the Chisholm Trail underpass. The footway diversion is very narrow, and some cyclists are using the roadway.
The C5018 from Nibthwaite to Monk House, along the east side of Coniston Water, was closed to motor vehicles for the summer of 2020 as traffic jams and badly parked cars made access impossible for emergency vehicles. It will probably be clo ... [more]

Ashfield Street bridge over former railway alignment, one of several bridges proposed for infilling by Highways England that now has responsibility for the former British Railways Board (Residual) portfolio of disused railway lines and asso ... [more]
NCN51 diversion further diverted by preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass. Care needed eastbound where the new alignment mounts the unsatisfactory dropped kerb.
Preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass involve diversion of the temporary NCN51 route. Narrow, but with a 'passing place' part way along.
Why do I get the impression that driverists don’t know the size of their vehicles? A shame that the small cycle locking provision here is damaged and harder to use. https://t.co/AVUGn54mxN
Looks like evidence of refreshed survey work for alignment of Chisholm Trail at north side of the underpass
At left of shot, two cones and some earthwork which seem to mark the alignment of the south end of the Chisholm Trail underpass Some of the concrete casts are marked with things like NW1 which presumably indicate their placement within ... [more]
A former railway viaduct is now the St.Thomas Elevated Park - cycles should be wheeled across, but the line continues as a cycleway to the west.
The 525m-long Brockville Railway Tunnel has reopened as a public walkway - it's at the end of the Brock Trail, but bikes must be wheeled through the tunnel to the lakefront.
Now (02/01/21) fewer culvert components in the compound - but not yet confirmed where the others have gone
