  • Roadworks on the guided busway

    Created by Clare Causier // 1 thread

    This afternoon the guidedbusway was closed from Cambridge Regional College to Histon. There was a security guard in a car who provided information on the closure and diversion. However, there was no diversion signage for cyclists or pedestrians.

    When I returned home I checked cambridgeshire roadworks for further information but drew a blank.

    Is anyone aware if works on the busway is covered by any public notification system?

    Saturday afternoon is not a bad time for maintenance, but I imagine commuters would appreciate notice of works which affect their journeys.

  • Orchard Park audit

    Created by Klaas Brümann // 2 threads

    Gallagher Estate, master planners of Orchard Park will soon hand over the highways for adoption by the County Council.

    We won't be able to fix this car centric development, but within it there are many pavement cycleways, "cyclists dismount" signs, cul-de-sac signs and others which are wrong or don't apply. There are also issues with dropped kerbs etc.

    I am looking for volunteers to audit Orchard Park, making a list of corrections we require before Gallaghers hands this project over.

  • Regional Campaigning

    Created by velocipedus@gmail.com // 6 threads

    How can we support the growth of local initiatives ?

    How can we overcome the division urban and rural cycling?

    Would it be useful to establish a network of regional groups?

    Could such a network become an interesting partner for the county planners?

    Would politicians be able to hear us better if we speak from a position of regional awareness, a a group of groups?

    Would it help the elected to understand that things are changing on our roads?

    Could such a network support constituent groups, facilitate exchange between these groups, become a more important player in the national context?

    Could such a network attract its own funding?

    What would be a good name for such a grouping (NAMES ARE IMPORTANT)

    We have CTC, Ely, A10 Corridor, Martin T thinking about something in Bury St Edmunds, "Routes around Chatteris", Wisbech forum (set up by the County), - anything else ?

  • Should Cambridge 'Go Dutch' (or Danish)

    Martin Lucas-Smith // 4 threads

    London Cycling Campaign has reorientated its policy towards a 'Go Dutch' approach.

    This aims to learn from best practice abroad rather than continuing with the 'hierarchy of provision' that, in 20 years in the UK, has arguably failed to deliver meaningful change.

    This is an overarching issue for conceptual discussion of this issue.
