Commuter hits out at 'dangerous' bike lane that lets vans drive towards cyclists
A cyclist has slammed the council for ‘installing unsafe infrastructure’ and says a Deansgate delivery bay leads to vans driving head on towards bikes in their protected lane.
Initially, these lanes were protected by plastic barriers, but since June ‘interim’ measures have been fixed in place , with more permanent bollards installed. However, as this bike lane provides access for a delivery bay and is only wide enough for vans to drive up, Mr Parry says cyclists have nowhere to go.“It’s dangerous, it’s more dangerous than not having the barriers there,” the 47-year-old 3D construction modeller told the Manchester Evening News .
Now, Manchester City Council has confirmed that access to the delivery bay is through the cycle lane, which Mr Parry says is ‘messed up’. However, after the M.E.N. raised the issue, council bosses confirmed that a camera will be installed to police the use of it, which is time-restricted.
