Towns Fund West Bromwich Connected: Spon Lane Cycle Route

Overview

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is excited to share with you proposals to construct a cycle track from Kelvin Way to National Cycle Route 81 on the towpath on the Birmingham Canal along Grice Street and Spon Lane. This follows the receipt of funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, called the Towns Fund.

It is hoped that the fully segregated cycle route and improved footways and crossings will give residents the confidence to embed cycling and walking into their travel arrangements, which will in turn have positive impacts on air quality and the environment, as well as the health and wellbeing of residents who choose to walk and cycle. The route improvements consist of:

· 0.5km of two-way segregated cycle tracks, ensuring cyclists are separated from both pedestrians and traffic.

· New crossing facilities on Kelvin Way and Spon Lane South. 

· Adjustment of kerblines allowing the widening of footways.
