In 2022 we saw @bathnes deliver Liveable Neighbourhoods trials, Shared Bus Borders, Bus Stop Bypasses, Light Protected Cycle Lanes, Floated Car Parking to protect cycle lanes, Bike Hangars, 20mph speed limits, Continuous Footways, and a new Walking/Cycling Bridge! Amazing! 1/n
BUT @BathnesParks installed gravel bound steep path in @fosydneygardens creating an inaccessible exit on Beckford Rd. @bathnesld weakly hid behind a Citizen's Panel. @BATHNESHighways submitted a failed £1m bid to @activetraveleng ATF Tranche 3. 😭 2/n
However thanks to @WestofEnglandCA @votedannorris £540m Sustainable Transport Settlement @BATHNESHighways is going to be very busy delivering Scholar's Way, Kelston Rd Walcot St East West Link, and even giving Somer Valley some love! 3/n

We're holding another #KidicalMass in Bath next Sat, 25 Sept fb.me/e/1eVojFm4P

#KidicalMassBath is about my 6-yr old being able to cycle to the library when she is a bit older.

It's not just about me and my family though. A thread.
It's also about my 60-something-yr-old friend who cycles into town because walking is too painful on their joints. #KidicalMass
It's also about the parents driving their children to the park to practise their cycling, because there are no safe spaces to cycle where they live. #KidicalMass

Die Infrastruktur darf man nicht außer Acht lassen. Die größte Gefahr für Kinder im Straßenverkehr geht von Autos aus. Die Infrastruktur ist vor allem auf die Leichtigkeit des Autoverkehrs ausgelegt. Schnell und ungestört, nicht sicher für Kinder, sollen Autos fahren können. 2/
Kinder in ihrer Mobilität und Freiheit einzuschränken darf nur eine kurzfristige Notlösung sein. Eine Notlösung, die Autoverkehrsverbände schon viel zu lange fördern. Der Autoverkehr müsste sich viel mehr den Bedürfnissen aller Menschen, also auch Kindern, anpassen. 3/
