The approval of the EATF cycle way projects in Tranche 1 will allow spend and projects to be delivered within the tight deadlines that need to be complied with for the DfT. EATF projects will contribute to Active Travel options that will see alternative forms and modes of transport being used across the Borough that will benefit health and wellbeing and air quality.
To remove the temporary cycle ways in their entirety and then to do no works at all. This would mean that funding could be clawed back by the DfT for non-completion of works. This would also impact on Trafford’s reputation for delivery and potential success in securing future funding bids for other Active Travel opportunities. Various options to enable cyclists to have a safe, visible and accessible cycle route along one of the major routes through Trafford have been explored. The current proposals will be monitored and reviewed.
