Consultation ends on 22 March

Over the past few weeks we've had fantastic levels of response to the consultation. Thank you to everyone who's shared their feedback so far. If you haven't yet, don't worry - you can get involved by visiting https://solihullactivetravel.commonplace.is/ where you can read up on the schemes, view the plans and share your thoughts.

The three new temporary cycle lanes proposed are Blossomfield Road to Solihull Town Centre, Knowle High Street to Solihull Town Centre and Meriden to Millisons Wood.

The aim of these temporary cycle lanes is to get more people out and about on bikes, increasing their confidence to cycle safely whilst at the same time benefiting the environment. Recent consultation told us that safety concerns are one of the key barriers to taking up cycling. The high quality segregated cycle provision that we plan to introduce is designed with safety in mind and makes use of and improves existing road space where possible.

We recently added an interactive map feature where you can drop a pin along any of three routes a leave a more specific comment there.

We hope to hear from you soon!
