Not enough cash to make a real difference

The city council plans to spend £180,000 over the next three years to improve cycling routes in Nottingham.

It’s not a lot of money. It might bring some small improvements for cyclists but it’s hardly likely to see a mass movement of people abandoning their cars and taking to two wheels.

Which is a shame because the city would benefit in so many ways.

I suspect the project is likely to produce a series of small improvement which cyclists will appreciate but fall short of the major new routes that are really needed.

Hopefully the money will not be spent on creating more ‘cycle paths’ like the ones in Netherfield, on the hill as you approach the railway crossing.

They appear out of nowhere at a couple of junctions, run for about 25ft and then end.
What is the point? They look like someone wanted to use up a barrow load of red Tarmac from another project

If you know of a dafter, or more dangerous path, please let me know by commenting below.
