Stockport's new interchange Bridge is kinda there. Hopefully will provide a frictionless route for walkers and wheelers between train station, bus station and town! So far I'm a fan. https://t.co/drjzUn8Byu
It looks like @StockportMBC PARC strategy (pedestrian area reallocated to car) is going ahead. I'm not convinced reallocating what little pedestrian space there is to cars is the best strategy. But the council seem convinced it's the best w ... [more]
A brand new cycleway, so what do Stockport Council do? Erect three barriers on the entrance ramp. For....reasons. There are no barriers on the brand new road alongside it.

This trial filter on Hartington Road is designed to stop ratrunning through the residential estate, by motorists trying to avoid queues of traffic on the A6. A very good idea IMO.
The diabolically bad Dean Lane cycleway. The route is fine. The width is fine. But the dropped entrances to private driveways aren't necessary (Dutch entrance kerbs should be used). The real problem though is just how steep the dropped e ... [more]

Cycle crossing of Wallbank Road. It could probably use some colour treatment (dyed asphalt) and be clearly raised above the carriageway, but it's not bad. There's a shared zebra crossing of Bridge Lane in the background.
Clearly these are routes that the council want to encourage people on bikes to use (rather than the A6). So why isn’t a road like this filtered to encourage drivers to use the A6? https://t.co/gAnjHTWIS0
Love to have to navigate 3 lots of these when I can hear the engine noise of speeding drivers on the parallel dual carriageway. https://t.co/wHY4vnImL5
Fantastic new Sparrow Crossing (walking and cycling) in Stockport. Keeps pedestrians and cycles separate, and provides a very safe place to cross the road! Also a lovely refurbished alley. https://t.co/XysMxZtvsy
Another stupid, pointless obstruction on a brand new path. Why is this low barrier necessary, when bollards will do the same job?
An utterly pointless piece of fence that forces everyone through a narrow gap, in the middle of a global pandemic. How stupid is this?
Incomplete separated crossing for walking and cycling. Pedestrians press a button, while it looks as though cyclists will be detected by loops in the surface. The cycleway continues to the right (north) and turns left (northwest) down N ... [more]
More barriers, on a brand new surface cycle route. Why do cyclists have to put up with this rubbish?
Someone has installed some very silly and pointless chicanes on this section of the A555 cycle path. These will do nothing but frustrate legitimate users. There's plenty of room to widen the path but despite this being very clear guidance ... [more]
Very recently constructed cycle/pedestrian path George Road Stockport. Cycle lane has no drop kerbs and Give way markings are side street are too far forward for safe use. I certainly won’t be using it! @Chris_Boardman @StockportMBC http ... [more]
