Birmingham cycle strategy consultation
I was sent this link yesterday about a consultation exercise about the
proposed cycle strategy being drawn up by Birmingham City Council. http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/Generat...4&EXPAND=12047 or http://preview.tinyurl.com/33jn7x I've not looked at the full document yet but the web page lists the following as they key objectives: # Work with school children, staff and parents to encourage more cycling to and from school. # Continue the improvement of cycling accident statistics through road safety education and training. # Work closely with TravelWise affiliates and the Be Birmingham Partnership to raise the profile of cycling. # Develop and implement a Strategic Cycle Network across Birmingham which look pretty good to me. I'm not sure if that's a prioritised list but it's interesting that building cycle lanes isn't top of the list which seems to be some councils' solution to everything cycling. I wonder if the 'education and training' will be just for cyclists or whether it will be for other road users as well. peter |
