The new cycleway will provide safe space for people to cycle, linking Solihull town centre with Shirley and Monkspath.

Blossomfield Road Cycleway Update

Between 22 February 2021 and 22 March 2021, we ran a consultation to understand public opinion and gather feedback around designs for a cycling scheme running along Blossomfield Road towards Solihull town centre. This scheme will form part of the West Midlands Active Travel Fund plans to deliver safer spaces for people to cycle and walk more frequently for commuting and leisure purposes ; helping to increase physical activity, improve health and well-being, reduce congestion and improve air quality. .The consultation, received 496 responses and highlighted key themes and barriers that the route presents, to be overcome for cycling to be considered as a realistic alternative.The consultation results included:65% of respondents responded ‘positive’ or ‘mostly positive’ when asked about their feelings towards the scheme proposal58% answered they are in favour for the removal of on-street parking60% said the measures would encourage them to cycle59% said the measures would make the route safer for people cyclingFollowing this feedback…These responses were then taken by our design team to identify what changes should be made to the proposals.It has been decided that the best way to deliver a cycling route that is safe and accessible, without unduly affecting journeys by other modes is with:<li>A two-way light-segregated on carriageway cycleway that will run from outside Tudor Grange Leisure Centre on Blossomfield Road to the junction of Widney Lane</li><li>Thereafter the route will head east for a short distance along Widney Lane.</li><li>It will turn before the Widney Lane roundabout onto Cranmore Boulevard via a shared use foot/cycleway on its southern side which in turn will link with the A34 Stratford Road.</li>The new cycleway will provide safe space for people to cycle, linking Solihull town centre with Shirley and Monkspath. Delivering high quality cycling connections between different areas of the borough is a key part of the Local Cycle and Walking Infrastructure Plan and Solihull Connected Transport Strategy, which aims to reduce congestion and support a transition to a low-carbon economy.The proposed cycling measures will allow for easier and safer cycling, helping to make Solihull a cleaner, greener and more active borough. Construction is expected to begin in late February 2022 or early March 2022. Some disruption to the existing road network is likely during the construction phase and this will be communicated to residents with sufficient notice. Funding for the cycleway has been secured through the Active Travel Fund, which is aimed at developing high-quality cycle and walking routes across the borough.

Temporary cycle lanes along the Warwick Road Corridor from Knowle Village to Solihull Town Centre, incorporating light segregation and junction / route enhancements

Knowle to Solihull Town Centre Temporary Cycle Lanes

The proposed scheme commences in Knowle Village Centre and travels in a predominately north-westerly direction following closely the Warwick Road corridor and into the heart of the retail and commercial area of Solihull Town Centre. We are looking to link and widen the existing cycle lanes along the A4141 Warwick Road which will then transition into a two-way cycle lane. On Warwick Road north of the M42 we are looking to construct a two-way cycle lane on the former Warwick Road alignment which retains its previous carriageway widths (9.0m +) but the environment is now considerably less trafficked thereby allowing greater provision for cyclists. As the route enters Solihull Town Centre adjacent to Solihull School there are two options are being considered for onward journeys. The use of New Road towards the Council House or alternatively continue ahead along the B4102 to Mill Lane. We would welcome your views on these two options. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613661914/projects/solihullactivetravel/4d55376e-af16-4bfe-bdac-0a8ec4d11b8a.jpg" />

Enhancement to existing and provision of new temporary cycle lanes from Millisons Wood to Meriden Village  

Meriden to Millisons Wood Temporary Cycle Lanes

The proposed scheme starts in Millisons Wood (Borough boundary) and follows the B4104 Birmingham Road into Meriden Village Centre. Working together with the Parish Council, the proposed scheme responds to concerns regarding the existing on-carriageway cycling provision, which owing to the narrow cycle lanes currently provided, compared to the total width of highway carriageway, encourages high vehicle speeds and therefore acts as deterrent to cycling. The Parish and Solihull Council&#39;s are of the shared opinion that through the reallocation of the road space that will afford cyclists greater space alongside the physical introduction of light segregation measures then a lasting mode shift towards cycling could be realised. In addition to the above, special measures at known conflict points; mini roundabouts, side roads junctions are also envisaged and these will be aligned with published best practice. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613662078/projects/solihullactivetravel/48e1e196-0b68-44a9-b80c-d64e0b7012f3.jpg" />
