Birmingham Cycle Revolution: Castle Bromwich Green Route

Overview

Birmingham Cycle Revolution (BCR) is an exciting initiative to encourage more people to cycle in and around the city. Our vision is to make cycling an everyday way to travel in Birmingham. We want 5% of all trips in the city to be made by bike by 2023, and to double this again to 10% by 2033. This will help to make our city healthier, greener, safer and less congested.

As part of the BCR programme the City Council is proposing to introduce a new Green Cycle Route linking the Cole Valley Route to the area around the Jaguar Land Rover Castle Bromwich; it starts north of Newport Rd crossing into Solihull and then back into Birmingham finishing at Brook Meadow Road.

The proposals for this scheme include:

• Toucan Crossing at Newport Road
• Improvements to the ramp connecting Newport Road and Chester Road
• Proposed mandatory cycle lane on both sides of Hall Road
• Proposed cycle phase on traffic signals at the junction of Bradford Road and Hall Road
• Shared use footway/cycleway from Bradford Road to Brook Meadow Road with uncontrolled crossing at Hernefield Road, Heath Way, Moorfield Road and Brook Meadow Road.

We would be grateful if you could give us your feedback and respond by no later than 6th October 2017.

These are preliminary proposals and may be subject to change depending on responses received to this consultation.

If you would like to discuss these proposals further, please contact me on: 0121 675 4401 or email me at: transport.projects@birmingham.gov.uk.
