Is there any more information on what LCC are doing in this area? There are probably members, myself included, who would be happy to help. I know that borough groups audit changes to local infra, but having detailed photographs and notes are less useful to the wider cycling community than they could be if the information never finds its way onto OSM. > > Width of cycleyway is definitely useful if separated from traffic but > some way of reflecting the comfort of the riding experience on marked > routes would be a big step forward. Traffic Volumes,.
