The footpath section is actually quite narrow so when I went to pass someone walking towards me, I checked over my shoulder and briefly stepped onto the cyclepath as we passed. I was greeted by a loud roar from a cyclist heading towards Sutton. He was back a bit, there were no other cyclists around and he made a point of moving over to the wrong side of the cyclepath as he passed. On a different thread I recently complained about some pedestrians staying on a cyclepath to avoid other pedestrians but this was quite different. For those who still regularly use the S2S, please make some allowance for pedestrians trying to maintain a social distance. Thanks.

I expect they've made it more restrictive since then, maybe even just meeting people at the door itself and having customers queue outside.

mr spuckler wrote: » Given the butchering exercise they undertook last year beyond the causeway, personally I'd be very wary about clearance works they're undertaking and would be inclined to ensure they were taking a far more measured approach. Call that uppity if you like. FWIW I didn't contact anyone about it but things aren't always as black and white as made out above.

The "totem" sign and two parking spaces have been conditioned out and the entrance and exits have to be revised in line with the Design Manual for Urban Roads and Streets and agreed with DCC . I'm not familiar enough with DMURS to know if major changes will be required including straightening out the proposed kink in the cycle path.
Prior to the lodgement of the application, the applicant engaged with the Sustainable Mobility Project Team of the Environment and Transport Department concerning the proposed design of the cycle route that traverses the site. This application was referred to said team for comment and in the context of the cycle route, they have no objections to the design set out in this application.
