When a certain Ecclesall Road South resident finds out they're putting a bus lane on his patch there's going to be trouble. :o :P

From Council Press Release:

MAJOR ROAD WORKS TO START AT ECCLESALL ROAD

Major reconstruction works are due to begin on Ecclesall Road South between its junctions with Knowle Lane and Abbey Lane on Monday (17 July).
The work is part of the normal Principal Route Network maintenance and will involve renewal of all the carriageway, roadside footways, installing new and renewing drains and some renewal and positioning of lighting columns.
There are also two widening schemes along this section of road. The first is from the outbound bus stop at Knowle Lane to approximately 90 metres past Dobcroft Road / Harley Road, for a new inbound bus lane, this will require incursion into the outbound and inbound verges to varying degrees.
The other is a realignment of Bents Road at its junction with Ecclesall Road South to facilitate movement of left turning traffic.
A Puffin Crossing is to be constructed approximately 60 metres from Bents Road towards the city particularly to improve the safety of school age children crossing this busy stretch of road.

I do remember that there were still traffic jams in to town over the Xmas period when fares were just marginally more expensive.
