The road to nowhere




My long term campaign to restore a through route for cyclists between Barking Town Quay and Jenkins Lane may soon draw to a close. The join between the "new" road between The A406 and Freshwharf Road (B&D council - please name this road) and Jenkins Lane is well underway - the surface is level and the kerbs are in. I would guess it would be finished in weeks.

It does look a little narrow. Whether this is because of the restricted space or whether it is deliberate I don't know. I hope it is not going to be an issue for cycle access. I'm concerned because the "no-entry except buses" signs that I complained about years ago are - surprise - still there.
