- Appendix A shows proposed bus routes -- these are highly questionable, involving a major detour of the Citi 5 route that will be unpopular with existing users of that route.
- Table 5.1 shows a design typology for primary streets involving 2.0 metre cycle lanes. These are considered substandard for new-build streets, where 2.1 metre is expected minimum, and 2.5 metre optimum (for uni-directional lanes). Having said that, the main issue is ground clearance to ensure that there are no dangerous obstacles to collide with at pedal-height. With 2.0 metre cycle lanes, ground clearance could be provided by a buffer of short grass between the cycle lane and any obstruction, for example.
