Good spot Waffles. More stuff on the consultation he
www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/infrastructuredesign
The consultation finishes on the 5th November and they hope to publish
the final version out early next year.
(Comments in square brackets obviously my own):
The intention of Cycling Infrastructure Design is to bring together
current Government guidance and advice on providing and planning for
cycle friendly infrastructure that is already publicly available into one
document. [Yay]
I am not sure, but this sounds like Cycle Friendly Infrastructure 2,
which was written a couple of years ago and then disappeared into the DfT.
Rumour has it they don't like it and this consultation may be an
attempt to get others to back them up. If it is CFI2, it was probably
good when given to the DfT. Whether it still is is another question.
