Cycle path along St Aubin's Bay widened

Cycle path widening (34042578)

SECTIONS of the cycle path along St Aubin’s Bay have been widened to make the route safer and encourage more people to cycle.

New markings and signage have also been introduced as part of the project which has resulted in parts of the path becoming three metres wide, with a clear dashed centre line to distinguish each direction.

To mark the completion of the works, an event will be held on 24 August on the stretch of the promenade opposite Victoria Park and West Park.

The event will include a drop-in cycle clinic provided by cycle shops, an opportunity to see some of the adapted cycles from the Cycle Without Limits Centre and on-hand advice from local cycling groups.

Assistant Infrastructure Minister Steve Ahier said: ‘The stretch along St Aubin’s Bay is especially busy during commuter times and the summer months. As part of our Sustainable Transport Policy we’re striving to make walking and cycling more attractive by providing safer routes, and these updated markings and signage will help us comply with recent cycle infrastructure design guidance, where possible.’

He added: ‘The previous cycle path markings didn’t always make use of the full width available. Introducing dashed centre-lines and clear cycling symbols gives greater clarity to people walking and cycling.’

The updated markings and signage follow on from the recent widening work at Rue du Galet, West Park and at First Tower, and will complement the realignment work planned for Bel Royal and La Haule slipway.
