The lack of paved footpaths at Metro Centre West is very noticeable, especially around the junction of Pinetree Way, Marconi Way, and Hollinside Road. People who walk to work or shop on the retail park have worn paths in the grass in some places. This is despite the traffic lights cycle not specifically allowing for pedestrians. Please put in pedestrian paths and crossing, including a traffic light controlled crossing over the southbound Hollinside Road carriageway, where the two carriageways diverge. The current long detours that pedestrians and cyclist have to take are discouraging. It’s like a dystopian American car-dominated nightmare.
