I WOULD like to ask City of York Council why the new cycle lane alongside Clifton Green is so wide.

I realise we should make suitable and safe arrangements for cyclists, but this plan seems to be at the expense of the motorist and dangerous. Additionally, the action taken adds greatly to the traffic chaos; imagine the tailback to Poppleton Road in August.

Did someone in the council order too much green paint, I wonder?
