The signs blocking the cycle ways are an all too frequent occurrence unfortunately. Recently some signs went up blocking the cycleways outside the north aspect of the UoC. Thankfully last week it appears. That they have been moved onto the grass berm, it’s amazing the lack of foresight the people deploying these signs must have for cyclists.

On an aside, this week while returning home from work I witnessed two cars turning left from Kahu road onto Straven road from inside the new separated cycle lane at the intersection. These two cars managed to squeeze into the cycle lane between the lane separators and were completely blocking the new green cycle lane. What on earth can we do when there’s people like that driving! It’s moments like that when you just have to despair…

Thanks for a great piece on this very troubling issue. It is hard to know if it is CCC staff culture to neglect the input and needs of people who walk and cycle or their kowtowing to higher ups who only view the world through a windshield. Either way the park becomes a parking lot, the roads blocked by avoidable congestion and people on bicycle and foot expected to make long detours without notice.

When will it change? When enough people call and write the Mayor, Councillors, and Community Board members to complain, regularly. Time for strongly pro walking and cycling candidates, too.
