Selly Oak Cramped Central Refuge

Selly Oak Cramped Central Refuge
People heading north from The Dingle (and the canal tow path) have to choose between a two-stage toucan crossing with an extremely cramped central island, or crossing using the diagonal crossing and then using the toucan crossing on Chapel Lane. Or they can do a bit of guerilla cycling, and start out on the diagonal crossing before curving to the right towards Bournbrook (could this be formalised?). Push Bikes did object to the five lanes connecting with Bournbrook, pointing out that Bournbrook high street was slowly being downgraded, and therefore it would be better to use the available space for something other than general traffic. Sadly the responsible engineer was not prepared to look beyond what existed on Bournbrook high street at that very instant. We now know that that was indeed very short-sighted.
