The development of the depot site provides a valuable opportunity to provide a major off-road cycle path to the station from north Petersfield and further away in that direction - as proposed by Jim Chisholm. Site Framework Plan (Fig 27) shows the route he outlined running along beside the railway and part of Hooper St. This cycle route is likely to become heavily used with many bikes passing along it at speed as they do on other dedicated off-road routes. As such it must be recognised that it should not cut through the depot site where it would endanger pedestrians, especially children.
