I CYCLED along the newly-constructed, not yet complete, footpath/cycle track between Heworth Green and Muncastergate recently.

Although the markings have not been painted it is apparent that pedestrians are to use the left, hedge side and cyclists the right, kerb side. I then realised that at a specific point the cycle path rises and the kerb widens. I had just cycled through the point at which bus passengers will enter and leave their bus. "Another fine mess..." from City of York Council transport planners.
