A traffic-calming measure (choker with cycle bypass) recently installed on Fen Road.
Note the narrowness of the bypass, the double-yellow lines which only continue for ~5m after the bypass (with car parked immediately after, forcing eastbound cyclists to veer out into motor traffic), and the lack of cycle provision in the opposite direction.

Rather randomly, one pothole on the Dritfway has been repaired (I'm not sure if it's one I reported) - but the others have been ignored - see following photos #198763 to #198766 . It's a ridiculous way to work.

The path marked on your map across the triangle shaped green between Ditton Meadows and Wadloes Road should be landscaped and surfaced so that is safe to cycle on. There is a steep bank on the North side and after wet weather, particularly in winter, the path becomes a quagmire making it unsafe to cycle on. I have nearly come off trying to go up the bank. Following the construction of the Chisholm Trail bridge this path is part of the quickest route from Cambridge North Station to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus so it should be upgraded. It is a shame that after the expense of the bridge, some connecting paths have still not been improved.
