SO the council's plans for the re-development of Park Road include cycle tracks 'Strolling down the Park Road boulevard' (Star, February 3).

Aren't they aware that we already have them throughout the borough? Very versatile things, they also double as car parks.

I refer of course to those things which we elderly people call pavements - things that were originally designed for people to WALK on in safety.
