    CYNGOR CAERDYDD CARDIFF COUNCIL ENVIRONMENTAL SCRUTINY COMMITTEE 2 OCTOBER 2018 CARDIFF CYCLING PROGRAMME UPDATE Reason for the Report 1. To provide Members with an update on the ongoing development of Cardiff’s cycling programme. In doing so they can consider: . Why is cycling important; . Current and projected trends; . Future development; . Infrastructure plans; . Partnership working; . Cycling challenges in Cardiff; and, . Cycling related ‘Headline Actions’ – Planning, Transport & Environment Directorate Delivery Plan 2018/19. Background Why is Cycling Important? 2. Cycling is widely considered to be an important tool in for managing the future growth of the city. Key reasons for this include: . Building a Liveable City – A city that is good for cycling is an attractive city to live and invest in. Many European cities with a strong reputation for the quality of life they offer their residents provide excellent facilities for cycling. Travel Time – In a dense urban environment like Cardiff, cycling can offer the quickest way of travelling from point to point. A three mile journey can be cycled 1 at a comfortable pace within 20 minutes, which is a competitive travel time compared to the car, particularly during peak periods of congestion. Efficient Use of Urban Space – Cycling requires less space to accommodate on the highway network compared to the private car. Twelve cycles can be securely and conveniently parked in the space required to park one car. Economic Benefit – Based on the current levels of cycling in Cardiff there is a £14 million a year saving to individuals and the local economy for trips which are cycled instead of driven and a £28 million a year benefit for all trips that are cycled instead of driven in Cardiff.

  • Cardiff Council Cyngor Caerdydd Cabinet Meeting
    Agenda Item 10 CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD CABINET MEETING: 21 SEPTEMBER 2017 ACTIVE TRAVEL INTEGRATED NETWORK MAP STRATEGIC PLANNING AND TRANSPORT (COUNCILLOR CARO WILD) AGENDA ITEM:10 DIRECTOR CITY OPERATIONS Reason for this Report 1. This report is to enable Cabinet Members to consider the Active Travel Integrated Network Map (INM) and seeks Cabinet approval to submit the INM to Welsh Government for approval, as required by the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. The engagement and consultation plan for the Draft INM was approved by Cabinet on 15th December 2016. 2. The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 places a requirement on local authorities in Wales to plan active travel routes and demonstrate continuous improvement in local routes and facilities for active travel. The mechanism through which local authorities are required to plan their active travel routes is the Existing Route Map (ERM) and Integrated Network Map (INM). 3. The ERM sets out existing active travel routes which have been audited using the Audit Tool in the Welsh Government Active Travel Design Guide and have achieved an audit score of 70% or above. This use of the Audit Tool is a prescribed requirement of Welsh Government. 4. The first ERM for Cardiff was submitted to Welsh Government and approved in April 2016 following stakeholder engagement and a 12 week period of public consultation. 5. The INM which is the subject of this report, sets out the plans of the local authority to develop or improve active travel routes over the next 15 years. It includes short to medium term schemes (within the next 5 years) which are clearly defined and have a clear intention for delivery subject to funding, and longer term schemes which are more aspirational and speculative and as such are less clearly defined.

  • Bikes on Tfw Trains
    Bikes on TfW trains At the meeting of the Cross Party Group on the Active Travel Act held in November 2018, Mr James Price, Chief Executive Officer of Transport for Wales (TfW) asked for views on the configuration of bicycle carrying space on the trains TfW was planning to bring into service. We have set out below the considered views of the representatives of the various Welsh cycling groups who participate in the Cross Party Group and who represent many cyclists who use TfW services. Capacity There is general agreement, including in the European Parliament, that there should be at least eight spaces for bikes on each train. However, there is concern that if this is broken down to two bikes per coach it would mean that the provision would be entirely dependent on the number of coaches that happen to make up a specific train. We would require a reassurance that eight spaces on a train would be the norm. This may require that certain coaches were designated as cycle carrying coaches, perhaps each taking four bikes and that there would be at least two of these types of coaches on each train. We would ask that proper consideration is given to the potential, in many parts of Wales, for combining train travel with cycle tourism. Cycle tourism could be enormously valuable to the Welsh economy; across the EU it is estimated to be worth €44 billion per annum. It is also a very sustainable form of tourism. However, for people to be prepared to commit to travelling on the train with their bikes there would need to be certainty that at least on some trains to some key destinations there would be ample bike storage.
