Next Steps
Background
Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) issued in 2016. It set objectives to:
school The Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy encouraged local authorities to produce LCWIPs as a strategic approach to increasing cycling and walking. Other new guidance and funding
Background
Technical Guidance on preparing LCWIPs issued in 2017 LCWIPs are a long-term evidence based approach to developing cycling and walking networks, ideally over a 10 year period Involves High-level planning of schemes for future funding opportunities Aim to enable meeting of targets set out in CWIS Three key outputs
improvements for future investment
analysis Two-year DfT Technical support commission Lessons learnt - benefiting from experience elsewhere Guidance will be refreshed

The Six Stages of LCWIP
Determining Scope Establish geographical extent Arrangements for governance Engagement approach
Gathering Information Data on existing travel patterns Data on existing conditions Data on origins and destinations (trip generators)
Network Planning for Cycling Establish desire lines for cycle movement Establish routes Audit priority routes Determine improvements
Network Planning for Walking Core walking zones Identify pedestrian routes Audit priority routes Determine improvements
Prioritising Improvements Develop a prioritised plan for future investment
Integration and Application Integrate outputs with other planning and transport policies and delivery plans
Watford Three Rivers + 5km buffer
Geographical Scope
Brighton LCWIP - Analysis to date Mott MacDonald 7 May 2020
Cycling mode share to work is very low (no more than 5% in some locations) Cycling accounts for trips of: Up to 1 mile (<2%) 1-3 miles (<5%) 3-5 miles (3%) All reasonable cycling times! 1 mile = 6 min cycle 5 miles = 30 min cycle
Gathering Information – Existing Travel Patterns (Cycling)
Brighton LCWIP - Analysis to date Mott MacDonald 7 May 2020
A quarter of trips less than a mile are not walking trips Walking mode share to work – highest in Watford wards. Low elsewhere
Gathering Information – Existing Travel Patterns (Walking)

training Not conducive to use for less confident cyclists. Significant scope to improve the attractiveness of walking and cycling Developing an LCWIP is the next step to address this
Gathering Information – Existing Barriers

Stakeholder Engagement. First step in your involvement- More opportunities in later stages
Determining Scope
Gathering Information
Network Planning for Cycling Opportunity to comment on the draft cycling network identified
Network Planning for Walking Opportunity to comment on the draft Core Walking Zones
Prioritising Interventions Opportunity to comment on prioritised list of measures and High level intervention types
Integration and Application Public consultation on final document (tbc)

Building the cycle network
Focussing on key origins and destinations, including future sites. Layered approach – adding layers of information to provide a comprehensive picture Identify where people will want to travel to and from now and in the future
Brighton LCWIP - Analysis to date Mott MacDonald 7 May 2020
Network Planning: Building the cycle network- identifying desire lines
Origins and Destinations
Network Planning Desire Lines Watford and Three Rivers
Network Planning Desire Lines – Key Trends Watford and Three Rivers
Network Planning – Establishing Routes N.b. Indicative of how demand could fit to the existing network
Consider
Where do cycling routes need to go? Are there any routes that are missing? Consider journeys you could cycle but don’t currently What would be the priority routes?

Network Planning Identifying ‘Core Walking Zones’

Core Walking Zones
with multiple key destinations
important to assess as part of the LCWIP Key Walking Routes
Core Walking Zones

1km buffer— ’walkable’ area
Brighton LCWIP - Analysis to date Mott MacDonald 7 May 2020
Network Planning – Identifying Core Walking Zones
Focus on biggest potential to increase walking Based on clusters of trip attractors Identified 5 Core Walking Zones These are also centre designations 1km buffer showing walkable area where pedestrian routes will be defined.

Consider
Do you agree that these are the priority core walking zones? What are the key walking routes to each Core Walking Zone Think about journeys you could walk but don’t currently
