Through a series of collaborative workshops with the two councils we discussed the current transport network and future transport-related issued to identify gaps and opportunities.
From this we developed a long list of potential schemes and, using a scoring framework based on the aims and objectives of the Transforming Cities Fund criteria, sifted the schemes to a preferred shortlist.
The shortlisted schemes were rigorously assessed using strategic modelling techniques such as TUBA, DfT’s Active Mode Appraisal Toolkit, TfL’s Valuing Urban Realm Toolkit, as well as bespoke WebTAG-compliant spreadsheet models, to calculate the potential impacts.
It is a very positive reflection of the work to develop the programme, and to prioritise to an appropriate size of package.
The funding ITP secured to improve transport connections is now becoming a reality with a new flagship TCF-funded pedestrian and cyclist bridge under construction.
The bridge will connect Trent Basin’s growing residential community to the north with Holme Pierrepont, riverside walks, and key sports venues like the Nottingham Forest's City Ground and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground to the south.
With links to nearby high-quality cycle routes and sustainable transport connections through to the city centre and along the river, this bridge will make walking and cycling safer and more accessible for all and boost inter-city connectivity and low-carbon travel.
