This is the culmination of the TfGM led campaign to secure, well, £20m from central Government to improve cycling infrastructure in the city - I blogged about it here earlier in the year.
So, now that TfGM has a few extra notes under its mattress, what are they going to do with them?
Well, the objective is to create:
"...an integrated and strategically planned network of dedicated, high-quality, newly built or enhanced cycling routes that will be largely segregated from other traffic wherever possible. These will connect employment centres, schools and leisure opportunities with each other and with the regional centre."This means building about 56km of new lanes linking various paths of Greater Manchester to the city centre. You can read the summary document here.
All looks and sounds good on paper, we await the physical changes it will bring.
