That is from a response to a LGOIMA official information request given last month, This is the tendered amount and some will have observed, after 2 months, work is still underway.

As mentioned in an earlier post, the intention is to create a ‘shared path’, meaning both pedestrians and cyclists.

And how many cyclists actually use Park Avenue as a through route? According to this extract from page 9 on this KCDC pdf:

A total of 214 in either direction a week = 31 a day in 2024. That figure was actually 20% down on what it was in 2015! It’s probably safe to assume that most of the small number of trips are by people making a ‘there and back’, so the actual number of cyclists is only about 15 a day. Was this a ‘nice to have but non-essential project’? We think so.
