Emergency ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ transport plan
The Emergency ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Transport Plan, sets out plans for a wide range of emergency measures to support walking, cycling and public transport throughout the city, in light of the impact of COVID-19.
The plan prioritises and accelerates some of the measures that were outlined in the draft ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Transport Plan consulted on earlier this year. Proposals are organised around the same four “big moves”:
- Reallocating road space – to support the creation of safe space for walking, cycling and social distancing while maintaining public transport provision.
- Transforming the city centre – through the creation of walking and cycling routes alongside public transport ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and limited access for private cars.
- Prioritising active travel in local neighbourhoods – so that walking and cycling is the way most people get around their local area most of the time and these become places where people are put first, creating stronger communities.
- Managing demand through parking measures – where land and space currently occupied by car parking is repurposed for walking, cycling and social distancing.
This Emergency ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Transport Plan does not replace a full and final ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Transport Plan, which will be published later in 2021.
