| Oh I remember it well, Michael. When those of us who advocated for a better design for CS9 were blasted with all manner of vitriol, we just wanted to know why the design which touted the business park as a destination didn't, in fact, get people to the business park. Anti-cycling is what it was called. Go figure. I can't wrap my head around why TfL can't get it right. Nor the mayor. Nor the various cycle campaigners. There should be consistency and continuity throughout London. TfL wouldn't change rails from one tube station to another, why all the mishmash with a new layer of infrastructure? New cycle paths in Kings Cross are painted blue. They're easy to spot. Complete segregation like in Chiswick is not. Why not paint all cycle lanes blue? Or make the cycle logo blue when a lane doesn't exist? I feel safer in Hammersmith than I do in Chiswick. At least in W6 you're adjacent to every other road user and easier to spot. In Chiswick I think the detachment creates a false sense of security for both cyclist and driver. As for connecting to Hounslow town center. That made me laugh. Why connect any town centers when the e-bike provisions are so sporadic? There is no such thing as connection now that Katherine Dunne botched her remit. And people like you, Michael, can't be bothered to advocate for actually connecting things. You can't even connect Hammersmith to Chiswick apart from one awful provider. And the Hounslow Cycle Campaign remains silent. Completely laughable. Other boroughs offer a choice of up to three providers to cover all bases. Perhaps even more. |
