WQ.226/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY CONNÉTABLE A.S. CROWCROFT OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2018
Question
Further to the Minister's answer to Oral Question 148/2018 regarding commitments made by the previous Minister to bring forward strategies to encourage and facilitate walking and cycling, when does the Minister intend to bring forward these strategies?
Answer
Further to the Connétable 's request for a commitment to be made to bring forward strategies for walking and cycling, as previously stated in my response to OQ 148/2018, we anticipate these will be published alongside the government plan next year. This is likely to be spring 2019.
The time between now and spring 2019 will be spent engaging with parishes and other stakeholders to identify and join-up a number of safe routes. As we are likely to be retrofitting cycling routes onto existing infrastructure, it is likely that we will need to reprioritise road space to improve the attractiveness and safety of these routes.
