I do want the cycle route, which is important to provide.
However, the numbers don't add up, and the proportion allocated to pedestrian space is too low - 5m is not proportionate use of the space, which should remain predominately pedestrian-orientated in character but still allow cycling.
Objector stating that "cyclists are a menace" is tarring all users with the same brush. For instance, children leaving school at 3.30pm, when there is plenty of space for cycling here, are denied access to safe routes as a result of the current ban.
