This week’s meeting of the Brighton and Hove Transport Partnership included a round-up covering some of the many schemes currently under way aimed at making life better for people who use their feet, a bike, or a taxi, a bus or a train to get around this city. Here’s a brief guide (not exhaustive) with links to the latest information on each scheme, many of which have been funded by grants won from central government:
Ongoing:
Extension of 20mph speed limit.
Finished:
Seven Dials
Nearly finished:
Lewes Road – except for the Vogue Gyratory (on which, see below).
Just started:
Edward Street and Eastern Road – better for people on buses, on bikes and on foot.
Brighton Station Gateway - better for people on trains, on buses, on bikes and on foot.
Starting soon:
Vogue Gyratory – the Gordian knot of the Lewes Road scheme, currently avoided by people on foot or on bikes.
Old Town
Consultation under way:
London Road
Design work nearly completed, start date depends on external funding:
Valley Gardens – from the Old Steine to St. Peter’s Church.
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
