WHERE Gillygate meets Bootham is York inner ring road's narrowest pavement, at one of its busiest junctions.
Only an idiot would want to add to the bottleneck there and increase the likelihood of pedestrians stepping out into the traffic.
Yet the council has removed the push-button pedestrian crossing boxes from the perfectly-adequate traffic light posts they were on and moved them to new one sticking one foot into the footway. Why? What's wrong with everything on one post? Or is there money to waste?
Obviously planners never deign to actually use the pavements they insist on cluttering up for the rest of us.
