Levenshulme Mini-Holland Start with the crossings.

Traditional approach

A focus on corridors. Local journeys are not covered.

Most of our local journeys avoid main roads altogether - walking to the bus/train or cycling to school - main roads are often avoided. And these journeys are not planned for!

Corridor Approach to improvements

A look at a traditional approach

By foot or on bikes our journeys from A to B can often be through

• ur local streets and aren’t

necessarily along main roads A cycle lane or other facility delivered on the main road bypasses the day to day journeys. The small local journeys. ie. Many journeys to public transport are to main roads not along them.

Identjfy the barriers and routes that are uncomfortable to use

This is

• ne cell -

The whole city is made up of cells

Identjfy existjng acceptable crossings Identjfy where crossing could be improved

Approach 2 - start with the ʻcell’

Roads that are hazardous

• r diffi

cult to navigate form barriers - these are coloured

• red. Moving within the cell

is fi ne on quiet roads but journeys on busy roads are slow/dangerous or both. Identify the crossings. We can then identify how to cross those roads safely. Journeys can now be completed on quiet roads right to destinations. (some journeys will of course incorporate main roads)

Investjgate if through routes on side roads cut to create walking and cycling only connectjons

We can make the quiet roads even safer: by using modal fi lters and blocking through traffi c; vehicles stay on the red, busy roads. A network of routes has been created through low intervention, they are cost effective and it starts with putting in crossings.

The revised approach

Strong Corridors. Local journeys are maximised.

Corridors and local neighbourhood aproaches support each other
