¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ is inviting people on the Isle of Bute to have their say on plans to make further improvements to the island’s walking and cycling links.
The projects builds on the success of recently completed active travel works in the area and makes allowance for potential future active travel connections. It also addresses various aspects of the plans that the local community identified as priorities during an initial consultation earlier this year, including more pedestrian crossing opportunities and making better use of the parking provision on Victoria Road and at Albert Pier.
The council has commissioned a specialist design team to undertake an options appraisal and concept design for the routes and, with support from HITRANS and Transport Scotland, is inviting people along to a drop in event at The Discover Centre on Wednesday 21 August between 4.30pm and 8pm.
The council’s Policy Lead for Roads, Transport and Amenity Services, Councillor John Armour, said “We’re trying to encourage as many people as possible to travel to destinations without using their car where possible and we want to give people a better range of transport choices, all of which contributes to our targets for a climate-friendly ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute. To do that, however, we need to have the right infrastructure in place.
“That is why it is important that people go along to this event so we can identify their needs to help shape our walking and cycling travel routes.â€
