Arup has been appointed by Buckinghamshire Council to prepare a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) to enhance pedestrian and cycle infrastructure in High Wycombe.
The LCWIP will help the council develop a strategic approach to building a network of high standard cycling and walking routes across the town, improving safety and streets – an important step towards achieving a cleaner, healthier, and more accessible environment for residents and visitors.
A multidisciplinary team of transport experts from Arup will shortly begin to work on proposals which will include upgrades to key corridors, address gaps or severances in the network, and deliver ‘quick wins’ in areas where the propensity to walk and cycle is highest, and around the town’s many schools. A specific study into a sustainable travel link between Daws Hill Lane and Handy Cross Hub is also included in this commission.
