Don't squeeze cyclists out of Bath Gateway

London Road is currently very unwelcoming to cyclists and the plans miss a golden opportunity for improvement. One of the most dangerous parts of the road for cyclists is the two-lane section leading to Cleveland Place opposite Thomas Street, where the council plans to replace the shared cycle path and replace it with car parking.

The consultation plan on which the scheme is based does not appear to have been made public and was limited to residents of the immediate area, whereas the changes will impact all those who pass through the area daily.

The area should be regenerated by making it a pleasant place to explore on foot or by bike, not by squeezing in more cars.
