Cycle track progress

 

This is the plan from CBC for the new cycle track to the university. The accompanying info stated: 

"Central Bedfordshire have commissioned the first phase of construction to commence in March in order to be completed in April/May 2013. This phase of works will intend to provide a 2.5m wide shared use (pedestrian and cycle) facility from Cranfield Road, west up to the Stilliters Farm access.
Further funding will be sought in order to complete the link to University Way at our soonest opportunity.
 A plan showing the overall arrangement is attached for your reference."

This is obviously very encouraging news after a long period when not much happened. I'll supply further updates when details are put in the public domain.

Cycle track

There is £100,000 in the Home farm 106 agreement for the cycle path to the uni plus upgrading the path between Church Walk and Court Road and creating a anew footpath and cycleway on the north side of Court Road between the school and the High Street. Found this out at the home farm stakeholder meeting on Thursday. But no one knows how this is to be prioritised. Investigations continue.

Cycle track: Cyclists of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your chains.

Hopefully we can step up progress on the southern cycle track which is part of the Home Farm section 106 agreement. I understand the funds are released when the 50th house is occupied but there is no reason why we shouldn't be planning for this now. Cycling is the ideal way to get back and forward between the university. The roads, especially at night and in the winter are not good for either two wheels or two feet.
