Post by: CyclingSid on October 10, 2023, 06:58:17 Reading Borough Council complain they are being short changed on the cycling grant https://road.cc/content/news/council-blames-slashed-cycling-and-active-travel-budget-304313 (https://road.cc/content/news/council-blames-slashed-cycling-and-active-travel-budget-304313)

Post by: Bob_Blakey on October 10, 2023, 07:59:59 Is the ridiculous plastic barrier at the north end of Sidmouth Street - as in a Google Maps Street View image from November 2022 and visible on the 'latest' aerial shot - still there? That certainly wouldn't have encouraged cyclists to go anywhere near it.

Post by: CyclingSid on October 11, 2023, 06:57:35 Is the ridiculous plastic barrier at the north end of Sidmouth Street And the plastic wands separating the car and bike lanes. Don't know if the barrier is still there. The main problem is that there is no "legal" way of getting from the Kennet towpath to Sidmouth Street (short of carrying on to Watlington Street ...). The pot of money they didn't get was to connect the towpath to Sidmouth Street, can't see why they thought they would get the money for not seeing the problem they were creating in the first place This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
