The path next to the B1411 from Ely to Little Downham has become very broken up and bumpy again after having been repaired only a few years ago.
As traffic has also noticeably increased over the last few years it is becoming increasingly urgent to not only fix this path to a higher standard but to also widen it wherever possible so cyclists and pedestrians can safely pass each other.
We understand that full LTN 1/20 compliance as suggested by a Sustrans study a few years ago would be very expensive and while it is the ideal solution, we would prefer a quicker and lower cost upgrade that can be achieved within active travel and maintenance budgets in the next few years.
Detailed improvements we’d like to see:
- Better quality surface
- Cracks / bumps
- Broken edges
- Crossings
- Visibilty at the exit of Ely Leisure
- Visibility/ priority at Ely Tool Hire
- Visibility/ priority at https://maps.app.goo.gl/FAStsS6K9rYtHANK8
- Cut back hedgerows so they don’t grow over the path every few months
- behind the sports field: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vGrtQ1UTwqpxXUFQ6
- Widen the path wherever there is space
