Overview
Birmingham City Council is proposing to build a new path for pedestrians and cyclists from Minton Road to West Boulevard to avoid the stepping stones.
This new path proposal is part of the wider improvement works through Woodgate Valley Country Park and along the Bourn brook. You can also visit https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/place/woodgate-valley-country-park-walking-and-cycling-r to comment on these proposals.
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!
