Bath Sustainable Walking & Cycling Links Project
Bath Sustainable Walking & Cycling Links
(BSWCL) is an Active Travel scheme, with proposed routes aiming to
provide continuous cycle routes, as well as walking and wheeling
improvements, across Bath, connecting national cycle routes,
education and health facilities as well as residential areas.
Alternative modes of travel will become more attractive, enabling
reduced car use and supporting improved public health, as well as
better air quality and cutting carbon emissions. It will complement
and support other similar transport projects across the city. The
council is to become the lead on delivery following handover from
WECA.
