Re: Tudor Street

The shop owners took the funding and would have known what the plans were in terms of planning, parking etc. So they sort of did a deal with the Devil but aren't happy how things have turned out. Riverside is on its way to gentrification, it's been on its arse for decades, soon enough these shops will be gone and replaced by safe havens for the white middle class, it'll be old fashioned bicycles, baskets and floral dresses in no time.

You're having a laugh aren't you? Have you actually spent any time in Riverside over the past ten or so years? The last way it is heading, is towards gentrification! Infact it is heading the other way at a great rate of knots

Plenty of time in Riverdale, it's happening, slowly but surely, it won't happen overnight but the middle classes are slowly buying up properly down there. Give it 20 years or so. Prime area for it.

Re: Tudor Street

The OP is quite correct.
The article contains shop owners complaining about the lack of parking/drop off points.
Widening pavements and adding cycle lanes is ruining these shopping areas.
Same in Roath and Splott.

Drove down a narrowed Maes-y-Coed Road today, 5/6 foot wide cycle lanes both sides of the road, me and the Mrs never seen one bike

Lovely pot holes in the road lanes being used by paying motorists though

Even better, the Lidl planning application.

At the intersection with Caerphilly Road, you've 4 courses of action. Turn left onto Caerphilly Road, turn right onto Caerphilly Road, turn right into Lidl and straight on.

Before the bike lanes, it wasn't as bad; now, it's one lane all the way down till it fans out a bit. When there's a string of cars looking to turn right, you can't go straight on or left unless you think **** it at got into a bike lane.

No increased congestion there whatsoever.

The place is terrible; some people disagree, but I can't see it myself.

I think they are banning cars by the back door, little by little there will be no roads left for cars to drive in.

Quite a depressing place full of hostels and bed sits, they will do well to turn it into new pontcanna…..

Re: Tudor Street

We have an awful council as far as planning and transport is concerned.

I don't mind the 20 mph limit in certain areas, but some of the decisions on roads and housing are just awful

I actually laugh every time I am on pen-y-lan road, the new lights and traffic system was designed by an imbecile. Remember when Homer Simpson designed a car? Literally that's Cardiff city planning department.
