Establish a ring-fenced, 10 year, £1.5 billion infrastructure fund, starting with a short term GM Mayor’s Active Streets Fund to kick-start delivery for walking and cycling. With over 700 miles of main corridors connecting across Greater Manchester, this is the scale of network we need to aim for.

Boardman talking a little bit about his vision for Manchester, some interesting points:
1. Lots of infrastructure
2. Not fair to expect motorists to change until infra is in place.

4. He doesn’t need the job, and will walk if he perceives his role to be a waste of time.

Beelines is a vision for Greater Manchester to become the
very first city region in the UK to have a fully joined up cycling and walking network; the most comprehensive in Britain covering 1,000 miles. We’ve outlined plans for over 75 miles of segregated cycling and walking routes, plus 1,400 new crossings that will connect every community in Greater Manchester
