The Cycle Forum• Cycle Forum comprises reps from
Spokes, CTC, Transport, Roads and Planning…
• …discusses cycling at a policy level – good communication channel.
• Opportunity to remodel this forum as an Active Travel Forum, with Living Streets?
• Could have an increased role in steering ATAP and feeding into the proposed Transport Forum.

5% - How should we spend it?
Capital• Family network implementation – faster and higher quality
• Cycle Friendly city – new and upgraded cycle lanes, cycle
friendly junction improvements, potential on road cycle track(s)
• Potential for increased match funding from Sustrans - £425K
in 2012/13
Revenue• Improved maintenance - on and off road
• Marketing, Publicity, Training, Monitoring
Impact - significantly improved chance of meeting ATAP commitments and targets

Critical review

Spokes and CTC feedback
• Strong support for ATAP, for its strategic approach, for 5% and the annual 1% increase
• Increased cycle-specific staffing needed to address delays –more important in context of increased budget.
• Keen to see progress on upgrading existing facilities on main roads
• Segregated cycleways – want serious consideration and would like to see a pilot project
• Can Council consult on, then implement, cycle and pedestrian friendly city centre?
• Public cycle counter (Meadows?)
