Solution 3 option 2 for me please.
</dream>
SBC will go for solution 1.
As the complaints/injuries/deaths mount they'll consider solution 2 but solution 1, after $time, will win out.
In some future election year they'll big up solution 3, start solution 2, and end at solution 1.
In some further dream of SBC Utopia no one will cycle along the seafront, because of the known dangers that cyclist have continuously pointed out, and all cycle facilities will be removed with no one cycles any more as the stated cause. A four lane dual carriageway, with car parking spaces at the sides and some in the middle, will be installed. Complaints about cyclist in the road will cause SBC to think about a cycle lane and they'll promise to listen to cyclists...
