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