\"Segregated<\/a>
Segregated cycle route needed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Derby City Council is proposing a high quality, segregated cycle lane along Ascot Drive and are asking for comments via a survey. \u00a0Please do the survey and give feedback to enable a really good route to be created here, but also make sure they know that cyclists want really good routes to cover all the major roads in Derby.<\/p>\n

Closing date:\u00a0Tuesday 15th November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t use Ascot Drive as a commuting route, but I do from time to time use my bike to go to businesses along that road, so I support this idea, despite the off-road Canal Path running parallel and close to Ascot Drive. \u00a0So long as the new\u00a0route is good quality, giving cyclists travelling along the road the right of way at all side roads and site entrances, I would use any such cycle lane or path where provided. I use Mercian Way on the new inner ring road, where the off-road path is a much more pleasant, relaxing ride than going on the road its self and just as convenient.<\/p>\n

The final survey question asks for your comments on provision of more segregated cycle lanes in Derby; that is your chance to make the point that every major road needs dedicated, safe, space for cyclists if the city is to enable more cycling, thus reducing congestion and traffic pollution.<\/p>\n

I understand the Ascot Drive cycle lane will be part of a new cycle route linking the Riverside Path near the Velodrome, with Infinity Park, via Wilmorton Link, Ascot Drive, Campbell St, Moor Lane and Wilmore Road.<\/p>\n
