So, £5m later, we have a 'Conmarket' with brownish asphalt instead of black, new traffic lights at one end (but no pedestrian crossing), complete confusion if it is one-way or not, an even more chaotic Carfax (again without pedestrian crossings), in-built conflict between buses and cyclists who wish to enter Queen Street or Cornmarket Street between 6 and 10am, 'no cycling 10am-6pm' signs, but no workable alternative during the day, and still nowhere to leave a bike.

It has the atmosphere of a flood relief channel. How much will it cost to have it done properly?
