The Greater Cambridgeshire City Deal have launched their consultation on five cross city cycling projects and would welcome your views.

The five projects are:
A   Arbury Road route;
B   Links to Cambridge North Railway Station and Science Park (Green End Rd and Nuffield Rd);
C   Ditton Lane and links to East Cambridge;
D   Hills Road and Addenbrookes Route; and
E   Fulbourn/Cherry Hinton eastern access.

These projects represent strategic links to radial and orbital cycle routes, especially those to employment and development sites. Each project will be integrated and developed with other projects such as The Chisholm Trail, Milton Road and Robin Hood junction improvements.

Cambridge is unique in having a very significant level of cycling. The challenge the city faces is to maintain and increase this already high level of cycling. To do this, The Greater Cambridge City Deal is focused on improving routes and addressing safety and parking issues.

Consultation closes on Monday 15th February 2016.

More information including detailed drawings, cross sections and events can be found here  

There are still places available for rail season ticket holders to improve their cycling skills at a special subsidised rate. The 2 hour lesson delivered by Outspoken's qualified National Standard Instructor on a one to one basis costs just £10 (normal price £50) and can be delivered in Cambridge, St Neots or at your workplace.

More information on these trainings can be found here. 

Thank you for all those people who came along to the TP+ consultation events on the Greater Cambridgeshire City Deal proposals for better bus, cycle and walking trips along Milton Road and Histon Road, Cambridge.

Initial consultation on these projects ends on Monday 15th February 2016. For more details and to have your say see here
