Solihull Council is seeking views on a new active travel scheme being developed to enable more walking and cycling for those making journeys between Solihull town centre and Knowle.
The Knowle to Solihull Active Travel Scheme is being developed to increase connectivity, improve safety and enable more walking and cycling for those making journeys between Solihull town centre and Knowle.
The proposed active travel scheme, part of the Solihull Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP), will aim to upgrade the currently limited cycling infrastructure between Solihull and Knowle, improving the current route that goes through Brueton Park and follows Warwick Road into the centre of Knowle. The overall aim of the Solihull LCWIP is to improve cycling and walking infrastructure across the borough over the next ten years.
Proposed upgrades include widening the path through Brueton Park, segregating cycle lanes to separate cyclists from vehicles and introducing traffic calming measures to improve safety for all road users. Additional crossings along the route and the resurfacing of existing footways are also planned to help increase safety for pedestrians.
The Council wants to hear feedback on the scheme from local residents and commuters who use the current route. A short survey, which should take around five minutes to complete, is now available on the Council’s engagement platform Your Voice Solihull.
