This consultation is now closed - thank you for your feedback.
As part of our ‘Biking Borough’ programme and with help from local cyclists, the council has identified a number of small changes that could be made to our streets, which would help make cyclists’ journeys safer, quicker and comfortable.
One of the schemes identified is to formalise the use by cyclists, the off-carriageway route between the Market Place, Lion Way and The Butts.
It has been noted that this route is being used by many cyclists already as a convenient and quiet cut through between Brentford town centre and Half Acre.
It is necessary to dedicate this section of the footway as a ‘cycle track’. This means that cyclists are legally able to ride on this section, with priority maintained for pedestrians. No changes will be made to the footway surface.
To indicate that this is the case, we intend to mount a small shared use sign at each the entrances to this route (either on an existing lamppost or bollard).
The results from this consultation will be reported back to ward councillors who will make a decision on whether to proceed with this proposal or not.
