Common sense seems almost to have returned to Bristol City Council following their unsuccessful attempt to turn Bristol into a 'Cycling City'.
Whilst we object to not being able to park the Bentley in Boyce's Avenue during the day, we note with glee that a proposed new 'Pedestrian Zone' will also exclude cyclists, who will not be able to nip under the arch and so get into victoria square safely. With the moving of a taxi rank to a currently wasted double yellowed lined area on Clifton Down road for the installation of new loading bays and disabled parking, even cyclists not trying to use the short-cut will find their life less pleasant, which cheers us up.
We'll have our roving reporters out there, 10 - 6 every day, ticketing any cyclists that dare to disobey.
Unless, of course, they object in sufficient numbers by 17th December to
david.sarson@bristol.gov.uk
citing "Proposed pedestrianisation scheme, Boyces Avenue, Clifton" as the subject.
Luckily we know that very few cyclists read this blog, and we know that they're unlikely to ever find the Consultation Document on the web as they're probably to busy making lentil sandwiches for Christmas.
