Draft Bradford District Local Plan - Preferred Options (Regulation 18) February 2021

Representation ID: 5455

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Bradford Cycling Campaign

Representation Summary:

Bradford Cycling Campaign welcomes the commitment to the protection and maintenance of active travel routes such as cycle paths and greenways. Paragraph A refers to, ‘where appropriate’, the network will be enhanced. There are many opportunities around the district for the enhancement of existing infrastructure that currently excludes cyclists, for example footpaths into cycleways. In some cases, this is a straightforward reclassification of suitable paths, while in others minimal development work would be needed. Such enhancements should be done ‘wherever possible’ rather than ‘where appropriate’ as these are quick wins for cycling and sustainable infrastructure development.
