IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

There are places that have achieved Vision Zero. Oslo is one of them. Floating bus stops are part of the solution, not the problem. Stop making vulnerable road users fight over scraps of space while prioritizing the mode of transport that kills most.

Let me be perfectly clear. If this were to be adopted, then that's it for building cycle tracks in the UK in most situations. Her amendment would force more people into cars which would perversely make it worse for bus reliability and of course be exclusionary itself. 6/n

It is still in the committee stage and you can submit your own evidence as our old friends NFBUK and Vincent Stops have. They and others want to ban cycling as transport. Guide Dogs are not extreme, but they want a pause on floating bus stops. 7/n

Hi
@marshadecordova.bsky.social
you're suggesting worrying amendments which really won't work in our rural Oxfordshire setting and might require children to take bikes into 60mph HGV traffic. Have you read TfL's guide to Bus Stop Bypasses? Linked below!

In her first speech as transport secretary, Heidi Alexander mentioned she was proud of the cycle lanes on Evelyn St & Jamaica Rd from her time as Deputy Mayor for Transport in London. Both feature bus stop bypasses as you can’t have a safe cycle network without them, a point clearly made here👇

Buried in the story is the fact that the council didn't complete an equality assessment. The barriers need to be removed or made compliant. May take someone disabled being restricted before the council takes action though. It's 2025. This should not be happening.
