Summary
'CSATLwhy.pdf' is Mark Drayton's (bloody long) 'paper' advocating a 'CSATL', an Active Travel 'Link' (=pedestri-cyclebridge) at Caol Spit, crossing the Lochy river and thereby reducing the walk-time between Fort William and Caol from c. forty-five minutes to c. twenty. In practice this might well mean all-but-abandoning the longstanding aspiration to construct a road-bridge in (more-or-less) the same place; in the 'paper' Mr Drayton argues forcefully that this is a castle in the air, anyway: "a roadbridge is simply not going to be built while there's a climate emergency," he writes, adding that "a well-planned cyclebridge need not preclude a roadbridge being added later" and that, in any case, "developing Caol Spit on a trajectory towards our boasting a continuous seafront promenade would if anything make a roadbridge more likely to be built one day."
