Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of the Built Environment which provided an update in relation to the Cycle Revolution.

During discussion, reference was made to the following –

·         Building developments can cause road users to alter their travel routes as a result of working disruptions i.e. scaffolding and this was something that needed to be considered as part of the planning process;

·         Improvement of signage for pedestrians, for example more on-road stencils on contra-flow cycle lanes;

·         Additional on-street parking for cyclists and the transformation taking place in buildings to increase the availability of cycle parking.  It was suggested that cycle parking statistics, both on street and in buildings would be useful in future reports;

·         The network for delivery by 2016 was influenced by what other central London authorities were able to deliver and the decision was taken by the Programme Board to produce a deliverable plan for cyclists as opposed to something that was not coherent.

The Sub Committee expressed thanks to the Assistant Director and his team for their continued work.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
