I met before Christmas with Stefan Chiffers from the Banes Bath Package scheme. We talked about the planning for a part of the Bath Package and the opportunities for cycling on the new route which will allow cycling from the end of the off-road Bristol-Bath NCN4 route towards the city centre - the attached file shows the route that Banes are currently consulting on. The route will then continue through the Western Riverside development towards Pines Way. See here for more general information.
As far as the route shown in the attached plan is concerned, we discussed a shared pedestrian/cycling path separate from the road which will be dedicated to the buses (ie no other motorized traffic). Cyclists would be able to use the road if they prefer - bus frequency is only every 10 minutes.
To me these seem welcome developments - eventually a better west-east route than the current NCN4 and cyclists properly taken into account during design - but if anyone has any other thoughts or suggestions I'm happy to feed them back to Banes officers.
