These changes include more on-street parking in the outbound lane and a narrower painted cycle lane of 0.9 to one metre.
According to the association, these changes contradict the 2014 National NMT Facility guidelines as well as the City’s. Specifically, on a road like Albert Road with a speed limit of 60 kph, the cycle lane should be at least 1.5 metres wide and separated from motor vehicles. Cycling between parked vehicles and moving traffic is dangerous, especially when manoeuvring into and out of parking spaces.
The association advocates for physical barriers such as bollards and raised kerbs. It also wants a painted buffer zone between vehicles and bike lanes.The association claims there was insufficient public consultation before the City implemented the cycling infrastructure changes.that these changes were made completely without the public’s knowledge and without residents’ ability to comment on or stop them in time.
