“Since the 2021 consultation, the designs have been modified to address feedback and improve the route and cycling infrastructure,” the council said recently.<\/p>\n
“We have also improved the signalised junction, including crossings at the A4540 Icknield Street.”<\/p>\n
The authority is also pushing ahead with other cycle route plans across the city as it looks to reduce carbon emissions and reconnect communities by “prioritising people over cars”.<\/p>\n
It has ambitions of creating a city-wide cycle network and said earlier this year that transforming Birmingham’s transport was “fundamental to meeting the challenges of the next decade and beyond”.<\/p>\n
“Economic, population and housing growth will create additional demand for travel, which cannot be accommodated via ongoing car dependence,” the council wrote.<\/p>\n
It added tackling the climate emergency “cannot be achieved without a wholesale shift towards public transport and active modes”.<\/p>\n
All cycle lanes on the route will be separated from general traffic and people walking or wheeling, using a combination of lines marked on the ground, level differences, where lanes are higher or lower with a kerb in between, and lane separator units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Since the 2021 consultation, the designs have been modified to address feedback and improve the route and cycling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-592786","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115610305738325490","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
