Instal the new Yate1/11/2024 ![]() Mandatory cycle lanes were implemented on Station Road in Yate in September 2020 to enable those who have taken-up cycling during the pandemic to use them while maintaining social distancing. Cycle lane schemes implemented under the Active Travel Fund are designed to quickly provide a safe environment for new and existing cyclists to travel off footpaths, but also to create more space for people to walk in a comfortably safe environment which can also help with social distancing while the Covid-19 virus is still in circulation. The new cycle lanes are funded by the Active Travel Fund. We are committed to improving cycling provision in the Yate area and will continue to work to improve the local network.” “This new cycle lane will provide a safe route for cyclists from the A4174 ring road, along Badminton Road, Station Road and Kennedy Way in Yate to join existing cycle paths on Goose Green Way and Scott Way. We want to do all we can to encourage sustainable transport options, for both commuting and leisure, so that we can continue to improve our environment, air quality and people’s health and wellbeing. We consulted on the plans between 16 November and 4 December 2020 and work is due to start in April.Ĭabinet Member for Regeneration, Environment and Strategic Infrastructure Cllr Steve Reade said: “The Council has long-term ambitions to improve active travel and to help address the effects of climate change.
