A strategic network to support future active travel improvements
East Lothian Council wanted to evaluate their current active travel network in the west-central region of their county and determine areas of improvement and enhancement for the future. They reached out to us to help.
We conducted a thorough review of the existing active travel network and considered several key elements. For environmental factors, we focussed on the likely impact on biodiversity and cultural heritage. We centred our analysis of health, safety, and wellbeing on the likelihood of personal injuries and promotion active and healthier lifestyles. Lastly, we looked at accessibility and social inclusion such as linking communities to education, employment, local centres, and public transport interchanges.
Now with a study that presents a well-evidenced programme of projects for the development of the future active travel network, the Council can make the best use of internal and external funding opportunities over the coming years.
