Report - Planning for Cycling: Report to Cycling England

The aim [of this report] is to encourage local authorities to treat cycling investments alongside mainstream transport projects, balancing the full costs and benefits for each case before making rational decisions. The report finds that despite good intentions, the challenges of understanding and applying the full benefits, and a lack of evidence on the performance of cycling investments, remain obstacles to achieving this aim.

[Written for community councils who, despite adopting bicycle and pedestrian plans, often balk at budget time to spend as planned.]
