I agree with the emphasis on sustainable transport and healthy streets. A few additional points:
Some existing infrastructure could be easily improved for better cycling e.g. the canal towpaths (better surfaces, lit during commuting hours) and for better walking (e.g. removing narrow stiles / steps that prohibit walking with prams - these, for example, prohibit walking with pushchairs from Bingley Myrtle Park to St Ives). Could there be a cycling / walking forum that looks at local improvements that could be made?
I'd also like to see more ambition. Cycling on many of the local roads is frankly scary and unpleasant. I should know, I've been hit twice by cars and have recently taught my daughter to ride on the roads. It is alarming.
