It is perhaps too polite. Since they are going to ignore it anyway you might as well say what you really feel.
Interesting point. I made the letter polite on purpose as I intend following this up as far as I can. I do not want to give them reason to throw my query out on the grounds that it is from Mr Grumpy. -- Bob Downie Downie GeoScience Ltd. please remove #n0spam# to reply directly

There is a reasonable chance that your letter might provoke some action. Not necessarily remedial action on the cycle lanes in question, but it might be raised when future facilities are being planned. At the very least, it might lead to an employee getting a severe bollocking for designing them.
Only when the first letter fails is it worth resorting to bile and vitriol!
