thanks rshdunlop.
I wonder what purpose it serves at this point?
But sure, it safely segregates cycles as you said. And traffic is not having to swerve from one side to the other, which seems sensible in our busier pedestrian area.

I agree it would slow traffic and create useful breaks in the traffic - I'll order 2 off you for the 2 long straight sections on PV - one perhaps towards Christ church school and the other by Valentine's court!

But I am not sure how a crossing would work with this feature at the station. Would people wait to cross in the cycle lanes themselves or at the give way points at either end (like at a junction, but without the aid of a central island?)
Would the partially sighted be able to use the crossing safely?

Sorry if I am coming across as difficult, and all these suggestions are better than we've got, but I need more persuading than they might be better than the simple pelican proposed by the councillor.
