I think changes there will be genuinely beneficial. I'm not so sure changes on Park St will benefit cycling – though they should reinvigorate the street as a destination.

I agree.

I've not found Park St to be that bad for cycling (apart from the uphill bit) - I think where it goes into the Triangle is worse as that has the different lanes that require bold positioning to not get pushed in to the pavement and drivers often don't know what lane they should use.

That bit at the top is horrible (from the traffic lights at the top of Park Street all along to the bend by Forbidden Planet).

As far as I have been able to tell, motorists are allowed to get in the correct lane (eg. right hand lane for going right and off toward Whiteladies Road, left hand lane for Jacobs Wells Road) ahead of time and to freely move between lanes if they make a mistake, but cyclists are expected to stay far left no matter what 

I'll see your Forbidden Planet and raise it to the Victoria Rooms. Everything from the Park Street - Queens Rd - Park Row junction to there needs reshaping.
