National Cycle Network Route 2 Cycle Link
Decision Maker: Environment Cabinet Member Meeting
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
(1) That the Member gives approval for Officers to conduct public consultation with key stakeholders and residents on the NCN2 Cycle Link proposal detailed in this report. Members will be informed of the outcome of consultation and permission to proceed with the scheme will be sought at a future Environment Cabinet Member Meeting following public consultation.
Reasons for the decision:
Madeira Drive is well used by cyclists; however, no actual provision is in place to facilitate these movements safely. This project will benefit local businesses, residents throughout the city, and visitors by creating a more attractive, accessible and legible cycle route between Brighton Pier and Marina.
Alternative options considered:
Progressing the scheme with minimal external consultation was rejected due to the scope and location of the cycle route option for this scheme. The improvements will affect a large area just to the east of central Brighton and will affect a large number of users and it was therefore felt that to ensure the scheme benefited everyone a city-wide consultation was required.
