13 - Castle Street and Castle Road 1-way System

Comments submitted to Highland Council Consultation


11 Aug 2020

Cycling route from High Street, down Bridge Street, and over Ness Bridge.
This used to be a (literally) straight-forward route.
Some care required at start but route and crossings were clear.
What is the intended route now?
The pop-up lane is on the wrong side of the road for cycling continuity
  with High Street and Ness Bridge.
The 'Share with Care' sign seems to confirm that the pop-up lane
  is not adequate - it's too narrow and winding.
Allowing 2-way cycling in this lane completely cancels any benefit to pedestrians.
Even with cycling removed, the lane is not suitable for people
  with visual or mobility impairment.
