I believe it's something to do with building regs. Existing posts have
to be one of the last items to be decommissioned, usually by newly
installed ones. Similar happened on one of the London CS ways, where
everyone got their knickers in a twist over it.
The fact that a neatly finished cycleway surface now has to be dug up so
that the electric supply can be moved to a new location and the lamp
pole moved is just another example of the complete waste of money many
of these 'improvements' result in? Actually another question is just why
the kerb to the footpath and the cycleway had to be moved at all? It no
longer lines up with the next section anyway.
