Vote red, go green...

They did get the new section of cycle route finished in time for voting on Thursday ;-)

Still looks a mess at the N end - possibly because of the on-going works rebuilding the wall (in the right of the picture).

It is slightly worrying that the route appears to run on the section of road closest to the Presto building. Running away from the building will give far better sightlines from the building entrance & exit.

Down with the red!

The first hundred or so metres of the new Upper Don Cycle route are nearing completion. As I cycled along Penistone Road this morning, the lads were laying down the red tarmac topping for the route. I guess with a little white-lining and signage, this section may be open just in time for the green vote in Thursday's local elections...

...except that nothing's happened at the north end; it still looks like you are intended to bunny-hop the kerb. I'm trying to find out more about that for those of you who asked.

Still - good work by the Council, and nice to see work still progressing.
