Overview

Birmingham City Council is proposing refurbishment work to sections of the existing Rea Valley Cycle Route. We will be carrying out resurfacing and widening work to improve the existing shared footpath / cycleway running from Arden Road through Balaam’s Wood to Rubery Lane. 

These proposals form part of the Birmingham Cycle Revolution (BCR) project which is developing a network of routes through green open spaces and along canal towpaths. The project is also developing routes on main roads, quieter back street roads, 20mph speed limit areas and other supporting measures including cycle parking.

The project is jointly funded by Birmingham City Council and The Goverment's Cycle City Ambition Grant. As well as building routes like this, the project is working with schools, workplaces and at leisure centres to get more people cycling. There are many ways you can get involved!
