| 174268 |  | The windscreen wipers on many of the motor vehicles on this side of the street have been lifted up. | Car storage: Event carstorage |
| 174249 |  | Paramedic bicycles in use at Chariots of Fire 2021 | Bicycle: Good practice bicycles |
| 174247 |  | The cycle parking at this walk-in testing centre is the fence. | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 174236 |  | EDMUND DE WAAL art submerged beneath the ground at the Alison Richard building, University of Cambridge arbart.crassh.cam.ac.uk/dewaal/ | Destination: Good practice destinations |
| 174235 |  | EDMUND DE WAAL art submerged beneath the ground at the Alison Richard building, University of Cambridge arbart.crassh.cam.ac.uk/dewaal/ | Destination: Good practice destinations |
| 174186 |  | Cycle themed bar at The Orator, at the Cambridge Union. | Destination: Good practice destinations |
| 174129 |  | White lines etc done, but still some work to do on a now-smaller patch including the central island | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174128 |  | Not clear why the cycle lane is still obstructed by one bollard/barrier pair. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174127 |  | The section of bridge ramp that for so long looked unfinished appears to be the site of feature 'green wall' planting | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174126 |  | There's enough water in the supposedly dry brook to need pumping out for work to proceed | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174125 |  | Between the fences, area that was compound now (in theory) recovering common. Beyond the second fence, Trail alignment and realigned brook. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174124 |  | Impossible to be sure, but could be preparation for surfacing at this Trail junction | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174123 |  | Foreshortened by telephoto lens, but giving an idea of the generous width of the bridge. Something (handrail?) was in progress. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174122 |  | This section is still more 'haul road' than 'Trail' - but patches of vegetation, and the flood compensation dip, have progressed. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174121 |  | South bridge ramp looks nearly ready for surfacing | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174120 |  | The digger is busy where there should be a section of the brook south of the culvert near the bottom of the bridge ramp. I was told that the brook would be dug out when the patch in the foreground (ie the Trail) is 'done'. Judging by the quantity of materials on site, it would then be lined with more gabions, so plenty more still to do. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 174118 |  | Progress continues on Histon Road and the safe 'Cyclops' junction Camcycle campaigned for is nearing completion. | Road environment: Good practice road |
| 173996 |  | Shared use footway at Newmarket Road / Chisholm Trail crossing now open. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 173995 |  | Shared use footway at Newmarket Road / Chisholm Trail crossing now open. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 173887 |  | Silly arrangement of 2 bollards, 3 gaps, on link to Fen Road | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173886 |  | This will be the pedestrian junction between bridge steps and towpath | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173885 |  | This will be the cycle junction between bridge ramp and towpath | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173884 |  | New towpath surface is very wide under the railway bridge. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173883 |  | Towpath upgrade finished and open. Interesting choice of radii at the junction with the link to Fen Road - perhaps determined more by land availability than attention to likely traffic patterns and desire lines? | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173882 |  | Newly laid asphalt at the Chisholm Trail bridge, Chesterton. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 173881 |  | Newly laid asphalt at the Chisholm Trail bridge, Chesterton. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 173880 |  | Improved access to Fen Road from the towpath in Chesterton. But as others have pointed out (see #173887) the bollard arrangement is problematic. The gaps at the side are too narrow to use safely hence everyone has to go through the middle creating a bit of a conflict. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 173879 |  | Much easier access to the towpath at Fen Road than previously. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 173878 |  | Towpath asphalt at Chesterton railway bridge. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 173870 |  | Racks overflowing with bikes, early September 2021 | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 173855 |  | Margaret Wright community orchard. | Cycle parking: Good practice cycleparking |
| 173764 |  | The Chisholm Trail towards Ditton Meadows. | Cycleway: Infrastructure cycleways |
| 173763 |  | The Chisholm Trail underpass at Newmarket Road. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 173751 |  | This section of the Chisholm Trail is built on a bed of gravel that is designed both to protect tree roots and the path from the roots causing ridges on the path. Only along a short stretch where trees grow on this side of the brook. | Cycleway: Good practice cycleways |
| 173750 |  | Mill Road bridge, the bus gate marking has been replaced overnight with a 20mph roundel and there’s ahead only at Devonshire Road. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 173749 |  | Mill Road bridge, the bus gate marking has been replaced overnight with a 20mph roundel. | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 173722 |  | There are now lots of these 'big bollards' alongside the path on the north Common. They're about 1.5m high, and generally about 0.2 - 0.3m outside the edge of the path. Some are sensibly located to warn spectators leaving the stadium that they are joining a cycle route. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173721 |  | A short stretch on the Common adjacent to Newmarket Road appears to be 'finished', but much of the rest past the football ground still awaits the top layer of tarmac | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173720 |  | Pavements on both sides of Newmarket Road have been marked up, and are being prepared, for resurfacing. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173719 |  | Posts have been set to mark the alignment of the Trail at Barnwell Meadow | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173718 |  | The bollards and gateposts have gone from the link to Fen Road, and so has part of the closure fence. The walking talking diversion notice was getting plenty to do. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173717 |  | Compacting and rolling under way on the towpath, but it's still the base layer: no sign yet of tarmac. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173444 |  | Nearly all of the recently-unridable loose chippings section is now fenced-off 'work in progress', together with the short stretch east of the cattle grids. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173443 |  | Cambridge Assessment has good cycle parking, but they are obsessed with making cyclists dismount and segregating them from people without bikes. | General sign/notice: Infrastructure signs |
| 173323 |  | Cycle parking needed at entrance to Coleridge Rec | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 173322 |  | Reasonable splay at new junction beside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173321 |  | Base layer of tarmac, but not final surface, completed alongside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173320 |  | Open, but unfinished | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173319 |  | Open, but unfinished | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173318 |  | Open, but unfinished | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173317 |  | Open, but I think unfinished: looks like there's another layer of surfacing still to come. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173316 |  | The towpath past rail and Trail bridges, and its link to Fen Road, are open. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173301 |  | New Co-op opens with no cycle parking, yet plenty of space for various pavement-blocking paraphernalia | Cycle parking: Problem cycleparking |
| 173290 |  | South end of presently-closed section is not ready for tarmac: must wait for adjustments to line and level when the new bridge over the brook is installed. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173288 |  | Base layer rolled and ready for tarmac on widened path alongside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173287 |  | Base layer rolled and ready for tarmac on widened path alongside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173286 |  | Better progress on backfill over utilities on south side of Newmarket Road | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173278 |  | Link between towpath and Fen Road looks like it will be a decent width | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173277 |  | Progress on realignment of the brook | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173254 |  | Beginning to widen the section between brook crossing and football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173253 |  | Perhaps this time the backfill over the utilities will be able to stay in place | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173252 |  | Evidence of the shape of the junction between bridge and widened towpath | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173251 |  | Progress on the realignment of the brook alongside the bridge ramp | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173250 |  | The intermediate link between towpath and Fen Road is closed | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173249 |  | Second phase of towpath closure is under way | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173243 |  | No footway left 😒 | Road environment: Problem road |
| 173242 |  | These double tier racks have gas springs to help lift the bike but are hard to press down. Lower racks are unusable, safely because of the risk of banging your head on the upper part. | Cycle parking: Infrastructure cycleparking |
| 173241 |  | No sign here of a walking or cycling route to Cambridge North. | Route sign: Problem routesigns |
| 173195 |  | Defining the outer edge for the improved towpath near the railway bridge | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173194 |  | Towpath back-filled, and edge board set, over new rainwater drain from the bridge | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173192 |  | This is unexpected: a deep layer of chippings, with nothing binding them, from Newmarket Road to the diversion past the football ground. The least cycle-friendly surface I've experienced in a long time, with a distinct desire line already forming in the grass alongside. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173189 |  | Hope they know that the sections of the machinery-access bridge are not joined together ... ... | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173187 |  | With the section of pipe removed, the true size of the brook is more apparent. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173177 |  | Another useless attempt to stop oversize vehicles from slamming into the railway bridge. It’s aimed at preventing a bridge strike as seen in #154713 but is doomed to being as useless as the bells were in #54344. If you don’t believe me see 11foot8.com | Road environment: Infrastructure road |
| 173150 |  | 'Bridge' element of culvert has been demolished | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173149 |  | Vegetation cleared back from the edges, and surface broken up, on path alongside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173148 |  | Vegetation cleared back from the edges, and surface broken up, on path alongside football stadium | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173146 |  | Gas pipe installed, but I think not yet connected. Some other utilities not in great shape. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173145 |  | A patch of tarmac replaces the unsatisfactory yellow plastic kerb ramp. Still not really wide enough for a trike, but at least this one won't move. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173144 |  | A better view of work on the towpath near the railway bridge. Perhaps it's back-filling over a stretch of the new duct or pipe. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173143 |  | Towpath base layer in front of the north compound is compacted and levelled. I think the large new hole at the edge is a sump/soakaway/treatment site for the rainwater drain from the bridge. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173141 |  | All of the presently-closed section of the towpath has been skimmed. There are no easy clues to indicate what the duct or pipe will be for. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173140 |  | Depositing, and roughly levelling, a base layer for the new towpath surface | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173139 |  | There is progress on the towpath, plus this outfall to the river for the rainwater drain from the bridge. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173046 |  | Concrete wall at landward side of towpath between bridge and steps | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173045 |  | North side redmac, with a very awkward yellow plastic ramp to mount the kerb at the far end. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173044 |  | Fresh redmac, maybe fresh blackmac, and fresh white lines - but still plenty to do around the central island at the western end | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173043 |  | Fresh redmac, and maybe fresh blackmac too | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173024 |  | That could be a narrow (path-width-only) planer in the background. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173023 |  | Tonight's work on Newmarket Road starts with surface planing, including (as far as I could see) the edges which have been occupied by the temporary pedestrian/cycle paths. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 173022 |  | Another view of the work to realign the brook next to the bridge ramp | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 172897 |  | The crack in the old structure over the brook is big enough to suggest that a complete demolish and rebuild sequence is needed. | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 172896 |  | Southern end of plastic tile diversion on the north common - again without a good link to the old path. Diversion (which is roller-coaster uneven) and old path are both open on Friday 6th August | Other: Infrastructure general |
| 172895 |  | Water main reconnected, gas main reinstatement under way. | Other: Infrastructure general |
