During 2016/7 we conducted a Cycle Survey to find out where improvements could be made to make cycling a more attractive option in Letchworth and then produced an initial proposal for a continuous network of safe cycling routes throughout the town. In 2020 we took our Cycle Network Proposal to the next level by:
-
exploring options to redesign road space (where this can give a lower cost solution than new cycle tracks),
-
extending the Proposal to include schemes to improve the walking network,
-
developing a series of schemes which can be delivered in stages, but once all delivered will provide a full cycle network across Letchworth.
The Community Plan for Letchworth Cycle and Walking Network report (download below) describes the methodology underlying the proposed schemes, including the traffic solutions which are included.
A partner document entitled The Community Plan for a Letchworth Cycling and Walking Network – The Schemes provides the detailed scheme descriptions grouped by areas of the town. The detailed scheme information can also be accessed online in an Openstreet Map (click on the ‘peardrops’ to see what’s planned for a particular location).
