2. Assessment 1. Brief description of proposal / policy / service being assessed

This EIA is in support of a funding bid that is being made to the Department for Transport. If successful total an investment of around £3 million will be made into walking and cycling infrastructure in Nottingham and Derby with investment starting early in 2018/19.

The scheme will include an upgrade of walking and cycle facilities in Nottingham and Derby to include off road paths including the canal towpath, on-road cycle facilities, junction upgrades, new parallel crossing and an electric bike hire scheme (ebike) details include:

- Connect Clifton / housing extension to the city centre from the southern outskirts of Nottingham (first phase of a strategic cycle link to East Midlands Gateway). - Improve access to Nottingham Station / city centre network from the strategic southern cycle corridor. - Improve pedestrian/cycle facilities on the Trunk and links to the Nottingham and Derby City cycling and walking networks on the south side of the City (first phase of the strategic cycle link to Derby). - Integrate new walking and cycling connections into and through Nottingham's Enterprise Zone. - Improve access to the canal towpath to the highway network, widen the towpath at pinch points; provide lighting under bridges. - Support phase one of the strategic cycling access from Derby to Nottingham along the former Spondon Canal and the former rail line. - Provide a docking cycle hire scheme with an ebike offer in Nottingham and expand the current ebike scheme in Derby.

2. Information used to analyse the effects on equality:

All new infrastructure will designed in accordance with the Nottingham Cycle Design Guide. This Guide has been developed in consultation with a range of user groups to ensure new facilities benefit as many people as possible and do not cause dis-benefits to anyone using the highway network.

Work will also make Reference to the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, and Due regard to The Equality Act 2010, national guidance on Inclusive Mobility and Equality Impact Assessments carried out for highway improvement schemes; In particular for pedestrian and cycling schemes as part of the design process.

crossing is difficult formal signalised crossings will be installed with features such as rotating cones. - - Improvements for pedestrians will enhance side road crossings and dropped kerbs. This will have benefit for wheelchair users as well as push chairs and the elderly. - Proposals include widening sections of the Canal Towpath and improved ramp to the Canal at Wilford Street. This will make the Canal towpath more accessible to those with restricted movements. Promotional material for the Canal already shows which access are ramped to ensure users know how far they have to travel along the Canal before there is a ramped exit.

Older - Older people will benefit from enhanced cycle facilities - The proposals include an electric bike scheme. Electric bikes and ebike proposals. require less effort to cycle than a traditional bike and in countries where they are now common such as Holland have proved popular with older people as they allow them to continue an active life style. - Design standards mean that cycle paths will be wide enough to allow tricycles and adaptive bikes to be used. Discussions with older cyclists from the local Pedals cycle group have shown that balance is an issue for some older people and they have moved to using a tricycle to maintain using a bike safely.
