City wide cycle improvements

Over the last year, nationally, cycling has risen by 46%. In 2020, we saw the highest level of cycling on the public highway since the 1960s, and the greatest year-on-year increase in post-war history. Recent pop-up cycle lanes on London Road have been considered a success and many workers used them when there was a reluctance to travel on public transport.

Post pandemic there has never been a better time to look to improve facilities that promote active travel. The schemes shown here are where we think that a real difference can be made by either introducing new facilities or improving existing ones in line with new Government guidance.

The cycle lane improvements are funded by two different funding streams. The first is 'Transforming Cities Fund' or TCF for the following Cycle Route Corridors schemes:

1. Nottingham Road between Pentagon Island and Raynesway
   1. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Nottingham Road plan 1
   2. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Nottingham Road plan 2
2. Railway Terrace between Midland Road and Siddals Road including Calvert Street
   1. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Rail Station to Siddals Road
3. The Morledge and Traffic Street between the Bus Station and Castleward Boulevard
   1. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycling improvements - Morledge to Rail Station plan
4. Greenwich Drive South to Onslow Road, Mickleover (Sustrans, National Cycle Network Route 54/68)
   1. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Mickleover to Mackworth Cycle Path Improvements plan 1
   2. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Mickleover to Mackworth Cycle Path Improvements plan 2
   3. Transforming Cities Fund - Cycle improvements - Mickleover to Mackworth Cycle Path Improvements plan 3

The second pot of funding is from the 'Active Travel Fund' or ATF.  ATF will be funding five schemes - Active Travel Fund Cycle Improvement consultation overview map
