Here’s a few items from my meeting today at county council:
The Diglis Bridge Connect2 scheme in Worcester is hoped to be constructed in the next couple of years. A nine metre clearance requirement on the navigable (east) side makes the design a bit tricky. While they are working on the main cycle flow being from Powick towards the city centre, connecting routes in every direction are being planned. £850,000 is allocated from the Connect2 overall £50 million pot for the scheme, and the county council will have to find a fair bit more.
At the Powick roundabout (A4440/A449), toucan crossings (joint pedestrian/cyclist) are part of the package of works due for summer 2008 (delayed from summer 2007 by the floods). They’ll be on the western and northern approaches.
In Malvern, the Science Park/Geraldine Road/North End Lane cycle route has been delayed from this financial year. So there is still a possibility of influencing the detail.
