Hyde Road Results 19 Sept
MCC Response Hyde Road should have a dedicated cycle path, to use in both directions that is separate from traffic. The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the C 14 future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. Stairs for cyclists? I thought cycling what part of the strategy for reducing CO2 emissions in Manchester? This is only a deterrent. The steps are an additional provision made for pedestrians. However a wheeling ramp will also be provided for cyclists. Currently there is no provision to connect to the Fallowfield Loop at this location and therefore there is an overall benefit to the non motorised users. It is unfortunate but a ramp is not feasible due to land constraints, costs and serviceability. The other access points to the Fallowfield Loop will remain such as off Wall Way, which provide Disability Discrimination Act C 15 compliant access. This stretch of road needs safe, segregated cycling provision as part of this work. The location is immediately adjacent to the Fallowfield Loop The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the line, which brings cyclists to the area, which makes the need for safe, segregated cycling provision even more important. Please could you future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. seek the views of Cycling Commissioner Chris Boardman on this (and the views of his planning experts). Better to sort this out properly at the C 16 planning stage, rather than incur additional expense putting it right later.
