This has been going on for years now, various luxury-flat developers
and others have been blocking the path in the vicinity of the London
Dome and it seems to be getting worse with yet another blockage
actually by the Dome itself.

Is the path owned by various landowners or does it belong to the
general public? What is the point in having a National path that is
frequently blocked? If they did the same to the same extent to
motorists on roads there would be an uproar.

On the Sustrans website the route around the dome is shown as a dotted
alternative with no explanation but the TfL maps (2004) show it as a
solid line.

My sympathies at your frustration. I also get frustrated because parking
is
allowed across cycle lanes blocking them (and more) completely, like you
say
what's the point in having a lane then allowing it to be blocked.

Good point.

Abolish cycle lanes and restore sanity on the highway.

You know it makes sense.


have a listen to this from radio 4
