The Greater Cambridge Partnership has agreed to invest an additional £19m towards a package of 'quick wins' to improve road safety, reduce congestion and enhance the city region’s cycling network. It includes a £4.6m investment in cycling improvements across the Greater Cambridge Greenways – a network of 12 high-quality cycling, walking and equestrian routes linking surrounding towns and villages to the city.
Construction work on the proposed Greenways upgrades – which includes the widening and resurfacing of a number of existing cycleways, including between Stapleford and Sawston, and a new shared path linking Cottenham to the Guided Busway – is expected to begin next month.
The ‘quick wins’ expected to be delivered by the end of 2020 include new bus lanes on the approach to the A11 and Linton, junction safety upgrades, new crossing points and more cycle storage at Babraham Road Park & Ride.
Members have also approved the preferred option design for improved bus, cycling and walking journeys along Milton Road, and discussed the potential options for encouraging people to move away from using their car to travel across Cambridge. For more information, see here.
