This nightmare is getting closer by the day. Adams Road, the busiest cycle route in Cambridge, is the victim of Clare Hall’s desperate attempt to get the busway rerouted. They’ve spent £250,000 so far. They don’t care about pedestrian and cycle safety.

A Cambridge College spent over £21,000 lobbying to get the C2C Busway re-routed via Adams Road, Cambridge’s busiest cycle route. How many lives will be endangered if CLARE HALL gets its way? A shocking waste of College funds. ⁦@camcycle⁩ ⁦@anjibennett⁩

⁦@stjohnscam⁩ ⁦@camcycle⁩ Last week it was ice, this week it’s mud. The second busiest cycle route in Cambridge shouldn’t be treated this way. Apparently St John’s (whose contractors caused this problem) are on the case. But no sign yet.

⁦@CambsCC⁩ SIX days on and still a thick layer of ice on the pavement and a treacherous cycle track. Welcome to the Wild West: West Cambridge

You have had DAYS to sort this out. There’s been no additional snow all week and yet multiple cycle paths and pavements are solid ice. How many fractures? How many dare not leave their homes? Get the copywriters out with bags of salt rather than thinking up “witty” names. Please

A remote Cambridgeshire country lane? No. The second busiest cycle route in the greatest cycling city in Britain. What’s the cost of maintaining it versus injured pedestrians and cyclists? ⁦@CambsCC⁩ ⁦@Cambridge_Uni⁩ ⁦@camcycle⁩

Scenic it may be but this is unacceptable for a major cycle route. Please can @CambsCC grit the Coton Cyclepath to the West Cambridge site? ⁦@camcycle⁩

CALL THE COUNTY ARCHAEOLOGIST. We’re down to the cobblestones on West Road. Question: if this was on the pavement it would’ve been sorted. The fact it’s in the road means it hasn’t been fixed for months. Why?

⁦@BenHattonJourno⁩ ⁦@lewis_herbert This is what Adams Road, the busiest cycle route in Cambridge, could look like if the GCP stepped up to the mark, and cleared it of parked cars prioritising cyclists and pedestrians. Dumping 280 buses a day on it is not a solution.

⁦@camcycle⁩ ⁦@sargemike⁩ Another graphic showing how Adams Road, the busiest cycle route in Cambridge, could be a showcase for how to prioritise cycling in a post Covid world. We are counting on Lewis Herbert not to trash it with 280 buses a day.
