Following a review of one of the Traffic Regulation Orders for Royal Victoria Park, a decision has been made to proceed with a family-friendly cycle lane as part of improvements to make walking, wheeling and cycling safer and more accessible across Bath & North East Somerset.
Improvement work in the park has already started and includes the resurfacing and widening of pavements, installation of heritage-style lighting, new pedestrian crossings and extra Blue Badge holder parking bays.
The work forms part of the council’s wider commitment to creating a transport network that is safer, healthier and more inclusive.
The Traffic Regulation Order for the cycle lane has been made after it came to the council’s attention last month that an objection had not been considered by the decisionmaker due to a technical and administrative oversight.
The council has addressed this by reviewing the decision, with the previously omitted objection considered alongside all other objections received, before making the new decision.
Work on footways and lighting, which were approved under separate Traffic Regulation Orders, has been progressing in the park.
