Local Sustainable Transport Fund - Area Cycle Network

Overview

As part of the LSTF programme funded by the DfT, Birmingham City Council is to deliver ‘Area Cycle Network’ improvements comprising of a series of east to west cross-links to connect to the main north-south routes on Bristol Road, Pershore Road, Rea Valley Route and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The proposed cross-links are also to link to main attractors such as the University of Birmingham and the proposed Life Sciences Campus, and so create a more integrated network of cycle facilities in this part of the city.

This scheme includes improvements for cyclists such as upgrading existing off-road ‘green’ walking routes to make them suitable for cyclists, signing cyclists via existing quieter roads, with lining and signing measures where appropriate and implementing controlled crossings where cycle routes cross main roads.
