At just 30m long, ending abruptly at a pedestrian crossing AND with a lamppost blocking the lane... this town's new cycling infrastructure has received a frosty reception... cycling
Residents have been left baffled by a new cycle lane that has opened in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and is just 30 metres long, abruptly starts at a pedestrian crossing and is blocked by a lamppost...
However, the lane's grand reveal has prompted ridicule online and bewilderment in the streets, with Calderdale Council, who worked with West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund on the scheme, admitting problems with design errors.
"We're aware at the moment the cycleway looks somewhat disjointed, but as work progresses we're confident that this will link with other improvements to provide a positive contribution to travel in the area." "What's frustrating is many councillors will ask for improvements only to be told there is no money, then stuff like this goes ahead. It kind of makes a mockery that there is any real local democracy or say over what happens," he said.
