Consultation - Green Routes and Canal Towpath Consultations

There are 6 consultations closing on the 29th April 2015 for some canal and green routes to be improved as part of phase 2 of the Birmingham Cycle Revolution. Push Bikes welcomes the improvements that these plans will bring for cycle users, by giving the routes all-weather surfaces and by allowing cycling in some places where it previously was not allowed. Making these small connections is important for building up a connected cycle network across Birmingham.

While Push Bikes does welcome the improvements, we do have some issues with the plans:

Consultation - Bus and cycle improvements on Lode Lane

Solihull council would appreciate your views on plans to make changes to Lode Lane, to improve bus times and help cycles. The consultation plans can be viewed here, and you can voice your opinion on the survey link on that page. Please do voice your opinion to argue for better provision for cycles in highways plans.

Consultation runs until the 23rd March 2015.

Consultation - Selly Oak Hospital Housing Development

The city council would appreciate your views on plans for a new development of 98 homes between Raddlebarn Road and Linden Road.

Consultation - Minworth Island Junction

The city council would appreciate your views on plans to make changes at Minworth Island, through funds secured from the central government. The improvements aim to better manage motor traffic flow and introduce a new route for walking across the island. The consultation plans can be viewed here, and you can voice your opinion on the survey link on that page. Please do voice your opinion to argue for better provision for cycles in highways plans.

Consultation - Ring Road Junction improvements at Ashted Circus

The city council would appreciate your views on plans to make major changes at Ashted Circus, through funds secured from the 'Local Pinch Point' and 'Local Growth Fund'. The improvements aim to better manage motor traffic flow to support economic growth and connectivity between the city centre and the wider area. The consultation plans can be viewed here, and you can voice your opinion on the survey link on that page.

Consultation - Cycle Parking

The Birmingham Cycle Revolution team would like to know about local civic centres (eg shopping parades) outside the twenty minute isochrone that lack cycle parking. The 20 minute isochrone is the area centred on the city centre that can be reached with up to twenty minutes of cycling, and broadly corresponds to the area within the A4040. Money has been found to provide cycle parking at these centres, but the BCR team would appreciate your local knowledge so they know where the stands are needed.

Consultation - Battery Way

The city council would appreciate your views on the extension to Battery Way through former industrial land.

Consultation - Bristol Road South Junction Improvements

Birmingham City Council is considering highway improvements to address road safety concerns on Bristol Road South, Bell Hill and Shenley Lane. They would like to hear your views on these preliminary proposals. Please provide your views by emailing transport.projects@birmingham.gov.uk or via the Be Heard website.
