Freedom of Information Act request - 2014/8925 - Cycle Infrastructure

 

I refer to your request for information received on 31/01/2014.  Please
see the information below in response to your request: -

 

1.       What percentage of your borough's total road kilometres consists
of fully, hard segregated cycle routes?

2.       How many total kilometres of fully, hard segregated cycle routes
does this equate to?     

3.       Since the 6th of May 2010, how much money in pounds sterling has
been spent from your borough's transport budget on creating further fully,
hard segregated cycle routes?

4.       In relation to the above question, what percentage of your total
transport spend within your borough for the named period did this
constitute?   

5.       For the period between the 1st of April 2014 and the 31st of
March 2015, how much total money in pounds sterling from your borough's
transport budget has been or will be allocated to creating further fully,
hard segregated cycle routes?

6.       For the period mentioned in question 5, what percentage of your
borough's transport budget does this constitute?

With regard to your questions 1-6, this work is the responsibility of
Transport for London (TfL) as they own, programme and fund all these
painted on-road cycle lanes as  well as the more major segregated cycle
routes, all on their ‘red routes’.  Please contact them for this
information via their website below:-

7.       What percentage of road kilometres under your sole control are
20mph roads?

We do not have this expressed as a percentage of the Council-controlled
road network; attached is a map which shows the areas controlled by the
20mph limit.

 

8.       Aside from the above mentioned, what other initiatives is your
borough undertaking to improve the safety of cyclists on roads under your
authority?

Cycle training courses are available, free of charge, to children and
adults who live, work, or go to school or college in Wandsworth. Courses
can be tailored for special needs. Child cycle courses are run during term
time and school holidays and Adult cycle training is either carried out at
a convenient time for the trainee, usually evenings or at weekends
throughout the year or as part of a group training session.  All our
courses are run by National Standards approved, trained and experienced
instructors.  More information regarding Council cycle training is
available on the Council website, see the link below:-

In this instance, hard segregation means where there is a kerb separating
the standard road surface from the cycleway. It does not include shared
footpath and cycle path routes where this is no separation between the
footway and the cycleway. Please only include cycle ways that are solely
under your council's control for this figure.

 

Total road kilometres is the distance of standard roads that are
accessible to motorised vehicles, in addition to the distance of
hard-segregated cycle ways as described in the above paragraph.

Please only include roads and cycle ways that are solely under your
council's control in this calculation.

 

I hope this information meets your needs. If you do not understand the
information provided or wish to discuss anything further, please feel free
to contact me and I, or another member of the team, will be able to assist
you.
