Current work on Boleyn Rd (C1) is for paving on the east side of a new ("electric"!)🚶crossing (pics 1,2).
This possibly signals the end of the works, so there could be some road resurfacing along here sometime soon.

We successfully campaign for more cycle lanes, school streets, zebra crossings, 20mph speed limits and parking controls, all of which can make school zones safer places to walk, ride or scoot

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

Leave the C2W limit-free (although a lot of schemes have limits anyway. Mine is £3k).
Insist that cycles bought under C2W have to have mudguards and lights so are practical for year round use. that stops the leisure arguments straightaway.

Compare and contrast the Government language.
£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.
Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.
And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

In November the City of Maastricht opened the country's first 'fietszone'. Based on the cycle street where cyclists are boss and cars are guests, the City wants to improve road safety in the city centre.
We will be watching closely to see how this approach expands!
