Planned work for the future e will now continue with the work to improve the last few kilometres of canal towpath and to build and improve more off road routes. fourth area of 20mph speed limits is expected to be implemented in he two new routes will be linked by cycling infrastructure in the city centre. e will also be investing in measures to improve cycling in local centres and Green ravel istricts (more on page 22). n the road, work is partially complete on the ichfield oad and echells Parkway corridors and 11 routes have been introduced on quieter roads, to provide an alternative to cycling on a main road. hree areas of the city now have 20mph speed limits on residential streets, which should improve road safety and cycling conditions. lower is afer! For the next phase of on road cycling infrastructure we will be focussing on a high quality cycle routes from elly ak to the city centre, via the 38, and Perry arr to the city centre, via the 34. he route will be largely segregated and intended to allow a comfortable cycling experience on some of the city s major roads. Grand Union anal, nderton oad, parkbrook he following pages give information about what the routes on the 38 and 34 may look like. t this stage, the information is indicative and will be subject to consultation and detailed design work efore fter anal towpath improvements efore irmingham Main ine anal, ear Vincent treet fter

From ristol oad, the route will run alongside the pedestrian footway, before crossing into the wide central reservation where a dedicated track will run to dgbaston Park oad. further section next to the footway then links the route to existing cycle facilities on elly ak ew oad. Improvements to the junctions at elgrave Middleway and Priory oad will benefit pedestrians as well as cyclists. Up to 20 trees may be removed. hese will be replaced in the local area.
