I walked past the cycle lane on Shalesmoor/Derek Dooley Way in the evening rush hour twice last week and saw not one cyclist.
Empty cycle lane
The tailbacks it has caused – along with the pollution it will have also caused will idling cars and other vehicles – are unacceptable.
Sheffield Council should remove it immediately.
It is baffling how the council has money to throw at things we don’t need like volunteer libraries, the cycle lanes on Shalesmoor and trips to China in connection with the failed deal to turn the Central library into a hotel, yet then claims it has no cash to spend on professionally staffed libraries or better buses.
We deserve better.
