Highlights 1 • New infrastructure is at a low ebb • Highlights are mostly events rather than things achieved: • Irongate: cyclists now have access (more to follow?) • Police liaison events: station, market place • Changing Places event • Organised by Bowmer & Kirkland • The start of benevolence campaigns • Successful membership recruitment at events • Station and City Centre cycle security events • Littleover Picnic in the Park • Changing Places Day • Alice Wheeldon Memorial Ride • Hospital travel survey
Coming Up Disappointments • Full Street contra-flow cycle path and cycle lane • Darley Abbey and Chester Green 20mph zones • DCG Cycle Strategy • Benevolence campaigns: • Give Cyclists Room • Cyclists Are Traffic • Give Pedestrians Room • Bike Polite • HS2 and SS2 (Slow Speed 2) • Park Bike Works cycle hub • Closed Road Cycle Circuit – abandoned • Castleward Urban Village • Not living up to expectations • Link routes with city centre are poor • Ilkeston Railway Station; cycle access via narrow bridge • Despite huge pressure, only pedestrian access will be provided
Current Campaigns • London Road Rail Bridge • Get cycle paths on the new bridge • Use Space For Cycling in our campaign • Velodrome: access to it from Riverside Path • City Centre cycle access • Infinity Park – a business park designed for cycling • Innovation Centre: a building designed for cycling on Infinity Park • DCG Cycle Strategy – key campaigning tool; get involved • Define our policy and strategy • Allow us to set out our priorities from year to year • DCC forced to do a strategic cycle network development plan Consultations • Normanton area one way streets: contra-flow cycling added • LSTF phase 2 – letter of support
