Yes , resurfacing the carriageway between Pemberton and Burgoyne junctions. Working 7.00pm till 1.00am over these few nights. Last night Pemberton - Duckett underlayer; tonight, I think, Duckett - Burgoyne. Presumably next two nights, final surface - then. redo road markings. A bit messy at the moment and a bit noisy.
A working base for the main project - towards 20mph.
Why are they bothering with any of this?
I asked before how it could be stopped but presumably it would always have been hopeless to try (I haven't the time, money or energy for a JR of the council's plans..)
But in case anyone can answer: what evidence is there that vehicle speeds on Wightman have caused or contributed to accidents or near misses over the last five years? How will cyclists be able to use Wightman to avoid the dangerous traffic-clogged Green Lanes while having to cycle UPHILL over SPEED-BUMPS? Why have the needs of motorists - a pretty huge part of the local population - been ignored totally?
Don't know why I bother, just to let off steam I guess...
It's not really that difficult cycling uphill over speed bumps. The cycle lane looks a bit pointless like most of them, but might bring a bit of attention to drivers of the tight spot going round that bend over the bridge. If you want to see some really crap (and quite funny) cycle lanes check these out!
