People in Cardiff appear to be divided over new cycle lanes that have been installed in part of the city. The new cycle lanes on Cathays terrace run along most of the road, and are now ready to use.
Work on the segregated cycle paths began in September 2021, with the lanes running just over a mile long. The cycleway is part of the second phase of Cycleway 1, which will run up Cathays Terrace, down part of Whitchurch Road, up Allensbank Road and then along King George V Drive East, ending at University Hospital of Wales.
The first phase was finished in 2019, running along St Andrew’s Place and Senghennydd Road. The cycleway is one of five planned across the city, with other routes running to St Mellons, Cardiff Bay, Plasdwr, and Ely and Caerau. Cardiff council consulted the public about the plans last summer. Of the 876 responses, 57 per cent supported the plans while 23 per cent did not support them.
