Alignment of the new bridge is shortest/easiest crossing of the brook, and not great for sightlines and continuity of the path.
A short stretch of the path on the common is very narrow while they work to lay out the edge of the new alignment.
Trail is not yet surfaced at the bend near the footpath/footbridge crossing - but work is in progress.
[Image taken 18.10.21] Bootham Row, York. The image shows the need for wider spacing or positioning racks so the ends can be used by other longer and wider designs. The owner says it’s the only one – so far – in the city; that it does ... [more]

[Image taken 18.10.21] Library Square, York. Creative use of a cycle trailer. Though using cycle parking for use other than securing cycles is not good practice. Racks are usually oversubscribed plus copycatting is an issue. Other images t ... [more]
[Image taken 18.10.21] Bootham Row, York. Context: #175198. Aisles should be rather wider so people can get into and out of racks without difficult or needing to lift a cycle and without damaging other cycles see: #175106, standard and link ... [more]

Bicycle wheel themed artwork on the road surface of Victoria Street, Brunswick East, Melbourne, Australia.
Colourful road environment and Parklet on Victoria Street, Brunswick East, Melbourne. (Via screen shot from a video call.)

Wands and white lines to encourage turning across the cycle lane (more likely to look for cyclists) than simply drift into the left turn lane (less likely to check for cyclists).
New dropped kerb to exit A14 junction 32 roundabout if rider has taken old route onto road from crossing.
The path over the River Kelvin bridge is very narrow, so having this fence block sightlines onto it until the last moment before knowing whether the way is clear or not is rather unhelpful. #102680 illustrates the width. With the gate left ... [more]
"Doom awaits" - a fence blocking sightlines onto the narrow path across the River Kelvin expressway bridge. No such problems for drivers on the adjacent road. See also #175173.

175190 Constant speeding on Dorchester Road rat-run- 175189 Dorchester Road is used as a rat-run to get to Hinckley Road and avoid traffic lights. Constant levels of speeding up and down hill, and cutting corner, making it dangerous for pedestrians and residents.
- 175188 Ride-on Santander Cycle scheme is a great thing for the city, yet there are not enough locations outside of city centre to make it accessible for those outside of student populace. Focus on residential areas to allow commuting would be highly beneficial. For example Western Park.

- 175171 Dingy and unsafe route through this park. Would not use this path on my own or in the dark. Needs lighting and more security.

- 175167 Limited pavement on Windingbrook Lane, Northampton, NN4 - several areas only have pavement on one side of the road, leading to pedestrians having to have to walk into the road to keep socially distanced. Uneven, rubble paths in some areas also not good for wheelchair users, children’s buggies or vulnerable pedestrians and need reinstating properly.
