Penistone Road / Hillfoot
On the recent NCN6 ride it was noted that the cycle crossing at Hillfoot/Penistone road didn't seem to have been retimed to take advantage of the new left turn only lane making this a very long wait.
Corporation Street: Roundabout over river cycle lane The signal controlled cycle lane across the centre of the roundabout from Mowbray St to Nursery St is activated by a waiting cyclist. On arriving at this signal traffic is often emerging from Nursery St suggesting that it would be safe to cycle across rather than stop – but the signal is on red and it takes quite a while to wait for the next Nursery St phase. Changing this would speed up cyclist journeys and increase use of this cycle lane.
West St / Eldon St
The cycle bypass to allow cyclists uphill onto West St has a noentry
sign – is it missing an 'Except Cyclists' sign underneath? (FYI this is easily viewed on Google Streetview)
Abbeydale Road / Fieldhead Road & Staveley Road
How about a toucan crossing on Abbeydale Road at Fieldhead and Staveley Roads? This would
allow cyclists to get across more easily in traffic and complement the existing cycle route here. A lot of pedestrians struggle to get across here too.
I have a few more, gathered at last nights cyclesheffield meeting - apologies for late submission, I appreciate it may not be possible to provide answers for todays meeting:
Mappin St - the contraflow lane was "overlooked" when this was made one-way, then delayed by the RNIB re-build. When will this now be implemented?
Clarkson-Osborne building, Penistone Rd - I read in the Telegraph that this is now to be demolished, which is a great shame as it is a classic building of its type. However, it does give an opportunity to sort out this section of the Penistone Rd cycle route, NCN6, which passes too close to the vehicle access points of the building for safety. Could officers please ensure that this problem is addressed?
We were advised that Supertram cyclist's safety work would commence during this financial year, but we have yet to see anything on the ground. When is this scheduled for?
Bramall Lane subways - is there any progress on "cycle-ising" this, as it now has cycle lanes approaching from nearly every direction? (With the exception of Bramall Lane - London Rd to the south of St Mary's gate, which would be useful for some journeys)
