I noticed that in the last few days work has commenced clearing soil from the pavement between Drumgelloch and Plains. On speaking to contractors working there they confirmed that the cyclepath will now be routed along the pavement.
Original proposed cyclepath
I went down Katherine Park Lane this morning and saw that the fencing which had outlined the route of the cyclepath has been removed, which would indicate that the path will now be routed along the A89. First no train station, now no cyclepath. What was a safe traffic free route is now no more.
The 'new' cyclepath
On a better note, work starts next week on the upgrade of the right of way between Ballochney Road and Moffat View. The path surface was in a terrible state, and the work which will take place will see the path cleared of vegetation, re-aligned and resurfaced, with anti vehicle barriers and CCTV coverage.
