I look forward to a nice new cycle path to use some where near me.

THe red tape shouldnt actually cost sustrans much as most of the cost of cycle path creation orders etc will fall on the councils / highway agencies concerned - with sustrans mainly putting the money into route improvement on the ground and also promting the new routes

my only doubt about this is that I hope they apply some common sense to what they try to designate as cycleways as I have seen some projects where people (not necessarily sustrans) tried to create cycleways by redesignating footpaths that are too narrow for the purpose.
