Respondent: Bradford Cycling Campaign

Bradford Cycling Campaign is disappointed by the lack of specific proposals for new walking and cycling infrastructure within the Shipley section although we do support the suggested improvements that exist. We are pleased that the crossing for Leeds Road is mentioned in the plan as a solution as this is well overdue. Detailed provision for reducing severance and flow and a description of active travel flows that exist and where new potential can be created is needed. To achieve real impact, the plan needs to make these things a focus of design instead of just “encouraging” a shift towards active travel without a clear means of achieving it. We strongly suggest that active travel routes need to be made preferable to driving options if you are to see any modal shift. The CROW principles of directness, safety, comfort and attractiveness will be key (or a similar tested methodology).
