Cycle Action Plan for Scotland
Professionals – Perth October 2008
15
Cycle Action Plan for Scotland
Action 2: To work with key stakeholders and the tertiary education sector to offer accredited modules on integrating cycling best practice within their professional spheres.
Action 7: To complete the missing links in the National Cycle Network in Scotland.
Action 8: To promote the use of planning policy, access legislation and design guidance to a wide range of professionals; and to promote the outcomes of access legislation in the form of leisure activities.

Partners – Local Authority Delivery
Clackmannanshire Council Meeting held between the parties and over the course of 6
months the project was developed and the following stages agreed:

Why the Devon Way?
Existing capital investment
The route is live
Requires Development
Clackmannanshire Council have provided excellent infrastructure to date along the Devon Way
The site is in full ownership of the Council

Inception Report – Objectives of the Demonstration Project
Objective 1 – Encourage active travel (walking, cycling and equestrian) along the strategic Devon Way path. The local community and users are an important part of the project as they
have to be attracted to using the path. Therefore the demonstration site will look at how they can attract users and the local community.
Objective 2 – Demonstrate and promote good practice for shared use paths and active travel infrastructure using real life examples.
Objective 3 – Delivery of a training venue which will assist practitioners in the judgement/assessment of installing shared use and active travel infrastructure. The second and third objective identifies how the demonstration site will aid
path practitioners and professionals working within the field of active travel
23
Delivery of Objectives
Objective 1 – Encourage active travel (walking, cycling and equestrian) along the strategic Devon Way path. Signing Tourism Route – Leaflets Active Travel Promotion – Commuting - Led rides Council Promotion of Route
24
Delivery of Objectives
Objective 2 – Demonstrate and promote good practice for shared use paths and active travel infrastructure using real life examples. Shared Use Surfaces Crossings Conflict Reduction (Width/Surface) Access Control Cycle Parking Monitoring Interpretation of Path Network

Inception Report – Objectives of the Demonstration Project
Objective 3 – Delivery of a training venue which will assist practitioners in the judgement/assessment of installing shared use and active travel infrastructure.
We are here today and the ongoing training delivery will be as follows:
Action Plan Email updates Site Visit Course Delivery after Construction
26
Objective 2
We are to cover the following areas today and information sheets will be provided on all areas in due course
Design Manuals Shared Use Surfaces Crossings Access Control
27
Objective 2
How are we covering objective 2
Produce and distribute a design report (literature review) to relevant practitioners.
The design report will be distributed to local authorities and other relevant practitioners through the use of Paths for All and Cycling Scotland website. This will be achieved through information sheets rather than publication of a full report.
Complete the construction of the project. The design report will be updated to include construction issues/findings
and be distributed to local authorities and relevant practitioners through the use of Paths for All and Cycling Scotland website.
This Leads us onto our first topic today –

42
Gathered the characteristics of each user group
How do we design a surface for each user?
43
Different Users
Can we come up with an agreed surface?
In your groups please list three points you feel are key for your user group in a surface

Accessibility and Access Controls
What is the objective?
What are the requirements of different user groups?
58
Access Controls - Options
Bollards Chicanes Planting Path alignment – horizontal and vertical Community ‘policing’ Nothing
59
Accessibility Objectives
Prevent motorised users Allow free flow of users Alert users to hazards / potential conflicts Slow users’ speed
60
Access Controls - Examples

62
Do access controls work?
63
Good Practice
64
Instead of us going on about the different users we would like to show you the following video. We think this shows the different users perspective and requirements.
Remember by 2025, disabled people will have the same opportunities and choices as non-disabled people on travel choices
