  • VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE and ECONOMIC IMPACT a Report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004
    VIKING COASTAL TRAIL – USE AND ECONOMIC IMPACT A report by the Area Manager to the Thanet Joint Transportation Board on 23 March 2004 Introduction 1 Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes MBE opened the Viking Coastal Trail, a 28-mile multi-purpose cycle route around Thanet, on Sunday 10 June 2001. Total investment so far in design, construction and marketing is about £500,000 divided roughly equally between the County and District Councils 2 The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s “No. 1 cycle route”; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Viking Coastal Trail is listed on the County Council’s website as Kent’s ‘No. 1 Cycle Route’; it features regularly in national newspapers and the cycling press. The Trail website ( www.vikingcoastaltrail.co.uk ) received more than 10,000 ‘hits’ in 2003 and it is clear from observation and from anecdotal evidence that there are many more cyclists in Thanet than there were before 2001. Two separate studies have been carried out, as follows: • Babtie – use of the Trail, with data from automatic bicycle counters at Ramsgate and Westgate • Canterbury Christ Church University College – economic impact, with data from interviews with cyclists using the Trail and a survey of businesses along it. 3 The main findings from these studies are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs. Use of the Trail 4 Automatic bicycle counters – electro-magnetic devices that continuously count bicycles passing over them – were installed at Ramsgate and Westgate in June 2001. There are limitations on where the equipment can be placed, and the two locations are not necessarily the busiest on the Viking Coastal Trail, but the counters have been counting for 24 hours a day 365 days a year and a great deal of data is now available.
