Motorists furious at width of £1.2m cycle lane project claim "utterly absurd" scheme an "attack on your right to drive a car"
"It's utterly absurd that the cycle lane is broader than car lanes," one local said. "This leaves drivers desperately squeezing past potholes, which the council seems utterly oblivious to. Absolute madness." "We are pleased that the scheme will provide active travel options for those travelling to primary and secondary schools in the area," they said."We are confident the improvements will make it easier for children and parents to get to school and nursery safely by foot or bicycle."
Once completed, the path will have improved and new zebra crossings and parallel crossings, giving users"frequent opportunities to cross" and"priority to cycles, pedestrians and wheelers". The local authority, Cyngor Gwynedd, responded to the complaints about the width of the scheme, pointing out that it is just half a metre wider than the previous pavement and the road is still six metres wide, including parking bays, double the width of the shared-use path.
