New Cleveland Street Active Travel Scheme

In July 2020, the Department for Transport introduced new design guidance for cycle schemes, known as LTN 1/20. Schemes must comply with this guidance in order to secure government funding to support construction. The new guidance requires designers to significantly improve the safety of cyclists and create more cohesive and legible schemes. The Cleveland Street scheme is designed to segregate cyclists as much as possible from moving traffic and other users of the carriageway and footway and create a safe route to encourage cycling whilst minimising impact on other road users.

The proposals include creation of a kerb-segregated cycle track, in each direction along Cleveland Street and New Cleveland Street between Witham and the Stoneferry Road/Mount Pleasant roundabout. 

 This would provide a safe, convenient facility for both pedestrians and cyclists, while retaining on-street parking and through lanes for traffic.
