The council’s executive will be asked to approve the city’s first Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan at a meeting on Thursday, December 12.
The plan proposes what, in a spokesperson’s words, are described as “aspirational strategic networks” for the different modes of transport; it also sets out top priorities, which will be used to put together funding bids as and when opportunities for funding arise.
Councillor Kate Ravilious, executive member for transport, said: “This plan is all about making walking, wheeling, and cycling safer, more accessible, and simpler in York, and to better connect routes across the city so more people can choose to travel this way.”
The Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure Plan is intended to complement the recently approved Local Transport Strategy and its Implementation Plan.
