Hello,
For those of you whom I haven't met yet, I'm the new Cycling Officer for Newcastle and I would like your help.
We are looking into redesigning the junction of John Dobson Street and St Mary's Place as part of the improvements we are making to the route from the Tyne Bridge to the north of the city.
It is a busy area with complaints cylsists about safety and from pedestrians about cyclists on the footpaths. The junction is complicated by the entrance into the Civic Centre. This is the only entrance to the Civic Centre for HGV vehicles and has to remain open.
If you know this area, I would be grateful if you would take a few minutes to give me a brief idea of the problems you have as cyclists at this junction to help guide our thinking. At this stage we just need to know the issues. We will come to the Cycling Forum with proposals once we have something we can present.
Thank you for your help.
Anne Clark
