Castle Road


Overview
  • The Highland Council voted to remove the 'Spaces for People' interventions.
  • The Walking, Wheeling, Cycling lane was promptly removed.
  • But the 2-way traffic will not be restored until December.
  • In effect, this is a 3-month roadworks project on Castle Road.
  • People with cycles are now using the pavement (and walking or cycling there).
  • The already narrow single pavement cannot cope with the increased congestion.
  • This disadvantages wheelchair users and blind or visually impared people most.
  • The Highland Council should immediately create a contra flow cycling lane.
  • This will benefit cyclists but, more importantly, help disabled people.
