A dream come true. We have lived in this area for 40 years and once we get off the De Freville Estate the battle to get across roads to shops is unbelievable and unpleasant.

This would be great step forward for the area. It is not currently an area where anyone stays for longer than is necessary.

Representation Summary:

Fig. 38 shows the nightmare of mixed space between cyclists and pedestrians. Yes, it's fine when the volume of people is as low as suggested on the figure, but - back in reality - this will not be the case when footfall is higher, and during rush hours. Instead, there will be conflict over who can use the shared space. You could use this as an opportunity to properly segregate different modes of traffic, but instead, you the council, maintain that pedestrians (and their, e.g., dogs) have to share space with cyclists. This is the nightmare I face in Cambridge daily.
