Downtown outdoor spaces

[dtkvictim]

I've heard a rumour that the new bridge will be 3 meters wide (which is still substandard mind you) which should improve things significantly.

The park really is unpleasant to ride in at busy times. I usually use David St. but unfortunately it's closed now.

So, based on that rumour, I guess this bridge is being replaced now?

Yes, it takes significantly longer to cycle through the park than it does down David St because I don't like running over children and oblivious folk. I'm comfortable with David St, but the person I ride with the most isn't. The Jubilee intersection can get very busy, and being between parked cars on the right and passing cars on the left is uncomfortable for many. I think the fact that the cycling grid considers this the primary way to get to the IHT is a big oversight.
