HCS master plans still show the multi story on Station Approach & I can't see Steels giving up their site for a multi story car park.

[SON OF GRIDKNOCKER]

Denise: Thanks for posting the latest issue of HCS's PLACE magazine. There's some really good stuff in there and lots of sensible architectural observations. Four tiny carps (all to do with the awful Link Road): 1) why has it taken HC almost 12 months to paint the cycle path lines? Any other local authority in Britain would have a dedicated and protected cycle path (Camden, would you believe, can still afford granite kerbing!); 2) why does the road remain un-named almost a year after its opening? 3) why are ALL the pedestrian-controlled crossings programmed to allow less than 10 seconds to cross wide carriageways, given the large number of Blind College students who must navigate these roads? and 4) why did the directional gantry alongside the rail bridge (a key signage for traffic entering the city down Aylestone Hill and unfamiliar with this city's eccentric road network) suddenly disappear? Has it been sold as scrap to pay Geoff Hughes' pension?

How times move on, but nothing ever happens. I think an eastern bypass would be a good idea and even Jesse Norman thought so. I wonder if he will mention it at the above meeting. Here is his letter supporting the motion 4th March 2014.
