The Wrong Side of my Car
The blog that wants to go obsolete
How much do we get out of that 8th lane?
The previous post was about whether or not it is the right time to liberate the lane. One thing that was mentioned was that the average lane on the harbour bridge is used by about 10,000 people.
However not all lanes are created equal. How much capacity do we lose when switching to 7 lanes?
The case for and against Skypath
A prominent missing link for bicycling and walking in Auckland is the bridge over the Waitematā Harbour. About 10 years ago it was expected that Skypath would fill this gap — long story, but now, after another couple of somewhat dumb iterations, it looks like we will be without a cycle crossing for another while.
Some go as far as saying it is the most critical missing link in Auckland. But I think this is an exaggeration, seeing how the rest of the bicycle network on the North Shore basically doesn’t exit.
Terrible craftsmanship: Queen Street, Northcote Point
Here we go again. This has been going on since a few years now. AT wants to do some roadworks to improve Queen Street for cyclists. And hopefully make it a bit less of the miserable wannabe arterial street it is now.
If that image doesn’t give you the chills, you probably never cycled near one of these before.
