Cycling improvements in Bradley Stoke
14 September, 2009
An exhibition has been arranged for the public to view information on proposals for new cycle routes as part of the Cycling City project in South Gloucestershire.
The routes are:
• Route 3 Parkway Station to Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre and Community School
• Route 4 Bradley Stoke to Cribbs Causeway
The exhibition will take place from Wednesday 23 September to Monday 5 October in Bradley Stoke library where the public can view plans and information on the routes. The exhibition will be available during library opening hours.
In addition, on Tuesday 22 September from 2pm-7pm officers will be available to answer questions on the scheme at the Willow Brook shopping centre, Bradley Stoke.
The Cycling City project will implement safe, continuous, attractive, comfortable and coherent routes across the project area.
Planned work on the routes includes:
• widening existing footways to allow shared-use
• improved signing
• safe level-crossing points at key areas along the route
• existing lighting will be reviewed and new innovative ways of illuminating the path will be considered
The proposals form part of the routes in South Gloucestershire included in the Cycling City Project.
In 2008 South Gloucestershire Council, jointly with Bristol City Council, was chosen as Britain’s first Cycling City.
Councillor Brian Allinson, executive member for planning, transportation and strategic environment, said: “Bradley Stoke already has some good cycling infrastructure but the Cycling City project will allow us to provide a consistently good cycling network across the town with safer and more convenient routes for cyclists. We look forward to hearing what the public think of our proposals.”
