62 Cyclists
Improvements to the highway and other public areas to facilitate cyclist safety and convenience will be given high priority. Particular encouragement will be given to the creation of the following links:
- Links to schools and colleges, particularly as part of ‘Safer Routes to Schools’ initiatives
- Links to other major journey generators, such as places of employment, shopping areas, transport interchanges, leisure and community facilities and health institutions.
Significant currently proposed schemes are listed in the Schedule of Transport Proposal Sites and Schemes.
Cycle route network and improvement strategies for the Borough’s main settlements will be prepared in conjunction with the Highway Authority. These strategies will be an important consideration in development control.
Appropriate provision for cyclists, or shared cycle and pedestrian facilities, (including secure parking/storage and changing/shower facilities for employees) will be a requirement of all major development proposals.
Adequate provision of cycle parking should be made, particularly at educational establishments, retail centres, public transport interchanges, leisure facilities and other major journey generators. Workplace cycle parking will be encouraged.
