People living in Cathays have been enduring construction disturbances since last September due to the making of the new cycle lanes that will finish at the end of this month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The new cycle lane is a part of a mile-long route connecting Cathays to Heath Hospital that has cost Cardiff council \u00a36m. This project was created to meet the Welsh Government Active Travel Goals that hope to reduce CO2 and congestion levels in Cardiff. The cycle lanes are done to encourage people to use sustainable transportation methods. If they are not met, the council will owe the government a hefty fine, says Cathays Councilor, Norma Mackie<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this has brought great frustration amongst residents in the area not only because of the months of construction that has been disturbing the residents but also because the cycle lanes will cost the residents at least 70 parking spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
