North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 32908

Received: 24/03/2019

Respondent: Heather Coleman

Representation Summary:

C. Cyclists and pedestrians don't want to be "ghetto-ised" by being dumped on a bridge. It's not only crossing Milton Road, it's crossing Cowley Road and Cowley Park too if you're trying to get from the Jane Coston Bridge to the city. I normally cycle on the road, as using the cycle paths is painfully slow. If you actually obediently wait for "green men" it takes many minutes to get anywhere. So the whole area needs looking at as a whole, not just getting from east to west as an isolated study.
