Ironworks - new housing estate being built at the site of the old Mill Road Depot. Scandalously, this will not be a low-car development.
This used to be thick with trees but also a fairly awful / steep path link that the college decided it had to make worse with chicanes & a cyclists dismount sign. Unsure what's up, but it's all gone now (the sign has since been removed … [more]

Tailgate of Biovest Logistics delivery vehicle blocking cycle route 9am Friday 4th July 2014. The driver didn't think he was causing an obstruction. I think his parking was inconsiderate and potentially a hazard as the tailgate was not very … [more]

Utilities access in the verge. There are more on the other (west-side) of the road as well. Moving them would be very expensive, and they would stop the laying of foundations sufficient to support the weight of motor traffic. However, could … [more]
Could this verge be reduced to create extra width? It is more-or-less level with the road at this point.
The end of parking and start of the left-turn queuing lane. Suggestion is that at peak this is full, and would seriously affect junction capacity if removed.
This bank cannot be touched by the proposed segregated cycleway. It meets the level of Hobson's Conduits and provides seepage for it. It would be extremely expensive to reduce, and therefore cannot be used for space re-allocation.
Bus stop on Trumpington Road poses a problem for space re-allocation for proposed segregated cycleway. Timetables suggest at least 10 buses an hour.
