Sheffield Council Unveils Major Walking, Cycling Infrastructure Plan
Sheffield City Council is set to discuss a major investment plan for walking and cycling infrastructure. The plan, to be presented to the transport, regeneration and climate committee, aims to make the city 'easier, safer, and healthier' for pedestrians and cyclists.
The plan, which will be debated starting 28 October 2024, takes a three-pronged approach. It will bolster existing projects like School Streets with additional funding. Medium-term projects will focus on immediate improvements, such as wider pavements, more pedestrian crossings, and reduced vehicle speeds. Looking ahead, the long-term vision extends up to 2045, with segregated cycle routes being a key feature.
Chair of the transport committee, Ben Miskell, has expressed the council's commitment to enhancing the city's walkability and cyclability. The plan is part of a long-term investment strategy, with the council considering significant improvements to pavements and cycle facilities.
The council's plan, if approved, will significantly enhance Sheffield's walking and cycling infrastructure. It will not only improve safety and accessibility but also contribute to the city's overall health and sustainability. The plan will be discussed and potentially approved by the transport committee starting 28 October 2024.
