AET Transport and Mobility Forum: FREE Webinar 2nd February 2023
AET Transport and Mobility Forum presents:
A Method for Economic Benefits for Re-Allocating Road Space for Cyclists
FREE Webinar: Thursday 2nd February 2023 1100 - 1200 CET (1000 - 1100 GMT)
Pandemic initiated shift in travel patterns created a significant strain on public transport, further exacerbated by a new “work from home” culture. In response, a “Plan led approach” in Birmingham is adopted to initiate measures to support active travel.
The plan centred around creating designs through road space reallocation by limiting access for private cars; prioritising active travel in local neighbourhoods; and re-purposing road space.
A top-down approach, compliant with policy reflected in design development but ensuring it is economically viability! So, the questions to consider are compliance of designs with strategic case and does this provide economic benefits through users but also minimising impacts on other non-users. An interactive process is presented here to show how both are achieved through a top-down policy approach for a coherent, safe and attractive design which also provides a good economic return. We shall offer a surgery of the development of a corridor!
