I do not feel these papers fully reflect the extent of risk faced by pedestrians. One must make use of 3-4 crossings to get from the Westbrook Centre to Jesus Green, but you must also address that pedestrians are forced to cross on to cycle paths several times - this can be very dangerous when cyclists are coming at speed (entirely within their rights on a cycle path!) particularly if one is with pets and or small children. First and foremost it is vital that these streets are made safer and more welcoming for pedestrians and families.
