Work
is progressing on the "riparian" linear park, which is a component of
Phase 3 of the Riverside development. I had to Google riparian, and it's
apparently a term for the transition zone between land and river, often
wetland. Not a good place to fit in more houses I guess at this
location without a lot of expense, because of the danger of landslides. A
new path is being laid at the moment. It appears to be a decent width
too, not like the one on the south of the town to the motorway bridge.
Possibly it has to meet newer standards and allow the passage of a
certain number of pedestrians without traffic congestion. Or perhaps
it's a dual-purpose pavement/cycle path.
