Nearly £2 million of this(including CEC match) is tied to certain projects (MMW/A90-NCN 1), the rest has to be spent by the end of February/March 2014?</p> <p>How far does £1.8 million go? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10282#post-112011 Mon, 27 May 2013 15:52:34 +0000 crowriver 112011@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"How do we get there: </p> <p><em>Committee reporting 31-Oct-2013</em><br /> Progress with this area of the budget will be reported to a meeting of the Transport and Environment Committee in either August or October 2013. </p> <p><em>An Active Travel Action Plan 'Communications Strategy' 31-Dec-2013</em><br /> This is also under development, as part of the Intelligent Energy Europe “CHAMP” project, to give direction to promotional activities relating to walking and cycling. </p> <p><em>Bids to Sustrans, who provide up to 50% matched funding 28-Feb-2014</em><br /> Sustrans have awarded the Council £545K for Cycling projects (to be spent by Feb 2014).

The Quality Bike Corridor was launched in November 2012 and the first stage of the Leith – Portobello ‘Family Network’ of routes in October 2012.</p> <p>Revenue Projects. Other cycle schemes will be developed and delivered. A pilot of residential cycle parking provision is being progressed. The revenue expenditure will be used to improve maintenance of cycle facilities including off-road cycle paths (such as through removal of vegetation encroachment) and relining of on-road cycle facilities. There will also be promotional activities to support cycling and encourage safe behaviour of drivers and cyclists.</p> <p>A report on “Cycling in the City – 5% Transport Spend Commitment and the Delivery of the Active Travel Action Plan” was considered by the 13 September 2012 TIE Committee.</p> <p>Additional staff resources have been recruited, to ensure effective delivery of the projects associated with the additional expenditure.</p> <p>Funding to meet the 5% (+1% p.a.) target will need to be found from other areas such as centralised Roads maintenance/renewal budgets and from local Neighbourhood area revenue budgets.</p> <p>These pressures will increase as the target increases year by year (1% per annum) and where total transport expenditure increases.</p> <p>Deliver to the outcomes of Active Travel Action Plan.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/10515/coalition_pledges_performance_nov_2012-apr_2013_full_report" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/10515/coalition_pledges_performance_nov_2012-apr_2013_full_report</a></p> <p>P75 </p>
