Consultation launched for three Harrogate cycling schemes
North Yorkshire County Council has launched a public consultation for three schemes to improve cycling infrastructure in Harrogate.
In December, NYCC accepted £1,011,750 as part of a five-year, £2 billion programme by the Department for Transport to improve walking and cycling infrastructure.
The money will be spent on three projects in Harrogate plus one in Whitby.
The public can have their say on the proposals here. The consultation will close on February 23.
The schemes under consideration in Harrogate are:
- Oatlands Drive, Harrogate: segregated cycle lanes along an existing cycle route, improved crossing facilities at four locations and other improvements;
- A59, Maple Close, Harrogate to Knaresborough: segregated cycle lanes along an existing cycle route and improved crossing facilities at either end;
- Victoria Avenue, Harrogate, Princes Square to Station Parade: pedestrian crossing improvements, segregated cycling infrastructure and bike storage facilities.
