This proposal improves the existing shared use cycle and pedestrian provision from Sully to Cosmeston.

Route option B

<h2 id="isPasted">Route option B</h2>This proposal improves the existing shared use cycle and pedestrian provision from Sully to Cosmeston, alongside Lavernock Road.How to have your say?View the overview map and let us know your thoughts on the bottom of the page.

This represents the &#39;do minimum&#39; option. &nbsp;Proposals for this option are to widen the existing shared walking and cycling provision along the eastern boundary of Lavernock Road between Sully and Cosmeston.The existing shared use would be widened to form a 3m wide shared use path. &nbsp;It is also proposed to reduce the speed limit to 30mph along this portion of Lavernock Road.Benefits:The route would cost the least of the three proposed options.&nbsp; It would ensure direct access to facilities along Lavernock Road, including bus stops. &nbsp;Could be perceived the safer route option due to its proximity to the existing highway.Constraints:The route is in close proximity to Lavernock Road which is currently subject to a 40mph speed limit, that could give the perception of an unsafe route. &nbsp;Would require a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for a speed reduction.&nbsp; Would involve removal of grass verge.

This route involves construction of a segregated cycle and pedestrian provision through the old railway line from Sully to connect to Railway Walk, Penarth.

Route option A

This route proposes utilising the old railway line which runs from Cosmeston Drive to Sully, crossing Fort Road and St. Mary&#39;s Well Bay Road using existing bridge infrastructure. &nbsp;The route would also cross Lavernock Road at &#39;The Vineyard&#39; and would require new pedestrian crossing facilities. It will provide users with a completely segregated route away from Lavernock Road.Benefits:The route connects directly with existing the off road active travel route that leads to and from Penarth.Constraints:Would require third party land acquisition and would have a high cost of construction as a completely new active travel route would need to be constructed.

Study area

<h2>Why do we want to improve active travel links between Sully and Cosmeston?</h2>There is a growing need to reform the way people travel between destinations using private vehicles. &nbsp;The provision of good quality active travel infrastructure is an important component in negating the need for people to own vehicles.Active travel infrastructure may also be used as a tool to improve physical and mental well-being and mitigate the impact of private vehicles on the environment.By providing one of these proposed route options, we can facilitate a modal shift from the private car to active modes for short distances to either Sully, Cosmeston and Penarth. &nbsp;We want to achieve the following:<ul><li>facilitate active travel;</li><li>enable and encourage people to travel sustainably;</li><li>deliver an integrated transport system where walking and cycling provide an alternative to car travel;</li><li>enhance the active travel infrastructure in the Vale of Glamorgan;</li><li>increase the number of active journeys between Sully and Penarth by 20% within three years of scheme completion; and,</li><li>make a lasting positive impact.</li></ul>
