A MUCH-ANTICIPATED survey asking for views on “significant changes” to the city’s streets is now live.

Brighton and Hove City Council is asking for residents to express views on current, “temporary” changes, as well as future changes.

“We're seeing significant changes to the way people use the city’s streets,” a council spokesman said.

“More of us are walking and cycling for exercise and to get to work, school and other destinations.

“We have a strong instruction, and funding, from central government to make active travel an attractive option for short journeys, or as part of a longer journey.”

The survey opened January 29 and will close on March 14.

The council says the feedback will be used to inform revised designs, which will be assessed by the council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee.

The survey is in 5 sections: an introductory set of questions followed by questions on the four areas of the city where changes are proposed.

These are:

Western Road

Preston Circus to Patcham Roundabout (A23)

Old Shoreham Road (A270)

Seafront (A259)

Brighton and Hove City Council recently received £2.376 million from the government’s active travel fund to progress cycle lane schemes, on top of the previous government award of £663,000 in June.

Under the plans, the temporary protected cycle lanes on the A270 Old Shoreham Road would be extended with lanes from the Hangleton Road junction to near the western city border at Applesham Way and Wolseley Road.

The temporary protected cycle lanes in the A259 Kingsway and Wellington Road would also be extended from Fourth Avenue to the west of the city.

Existing cycle lanes on the A23 London Road would be permanently upgraded to protected cycle lanes, with upgrades at key junctions, while there would also be permanent improvements for pedestrians, cyclists and bus users in Western Road in Hove.
