And of course, everyone was surprised that more people are using it now than the planners had modelled. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16197#post-215010 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 08:51:33 +0000 LaidBack 215010@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.holyrood.com/articles/news/%C2%A3315-million-city-deal-inverness-announced" rel="nofollow">https://www.holyrood.com/articles/news/%C2%A3315-million-city-deal-inverness-announced</a></p> <p>Listening to news of this funding I got a distinct 'back to the future' feeling.<br /> Of course road improvements wouldn't be all bad if 10% was spent on active travel. No mention was made of this though.<br /> I heard the word 'connectivity' used a lot but not much on improvements for public transport which is surely key to making a city work. Inverness is fairly flat and compact for cycling and does have a campaigning group. Sure someone will have heard more on this opportunity to make the city deal work for non car users.</p> <p>When the Kessock bridge was closed some Invernessians dug out a bike to complete the journey into the city centre. Think they did a temporary station as well? </p>
