School Bubbles

Using the school bubble concept of a particular circumference around a school and having speed changes, traffic calming etc within that circumference.

30km zones, resident only parking, wider footpaths, kids cycle lanes during school hours

Way Finding Project

Create a standard for signage to be erected in conjunction with road markings, to direct cyclists and pedestrians to local places of interest and destinations via clearly defined on/off-road routes.

This is perhaps a higher priority as it’s required to ready for installation as and when new cycle ways appear.

Marketing / Promotion

Create a good marketing campaign to support all projects for the purpose of promoting active transport through education and culture change, targeting the local community as well as visitors.

Again, as with signage, this would probably need to be in place so that it can be used and adopted as and when cycle facilities are created.
