I am concerned about the weight being put on the Frideswide square development.
While it has many good characteristics, it fails utterly to provide for cycling. What is needed is clear seperate space for cycling. This minimises conflict, between cycling and pedestrians, and between people on bikes and cars.
Even in a low speed environment, traffic volumes here will still be high and unpleasant for most people to consider sharing with.
I would also object to the idea of replacing crossings with only suggested priority. There should still be at least some true pedestrian crossings, either signal controlled or zebras.

I'd like to see some examples from Dutch cities here. They manage to create great public spaces, by reducing through traffic, and careful provision for all different transport modes.
