10 THE CYCLE NETWORK PLANPREPARE CYCLE NETWORK MAP AND PROJECT SCHEDULEMap the primary cycle route network and any area-wide treatments.Schedule the infrastructure projects.10.1 The cycle network planOnce cycle route options have been evaluated, the cycle network plan is prepared.This should include:• a map of the primary cycle route network• a schedule of the cycle infrastructure projects required to develop it.10.2 Cycle network mapWhile only some routes are identified and signed as forming the primary cycle routenetwork, all roads and paths usable by cyclists are part of the total cycle network.In addition to showing the primary cycle route network, cycle network maps shouldindicate any areas, such as town centres or schools, where area-wide treatments suchas traffic management or 30 or 40 km/h zones are to be implemented. In somecircumstances, such as in traffic-calmed areas or fully controlled grid networks, it couldbe preferable to make every road as cycle-friendly as possible and not to try to directcyclists to particular routes.10.3 Project scheduleThe schedule should describe the works to be implemented and their estimated cost. Costscan be estimated initially using unit rates per kilometre for different types of facilities.10.4 Network development costIt is useful to have a rough-order cost for implementing the entire primary cycleroute network.This figure can be used to calculate the realistic annual expenditure required to completethe network in a reasonable timeframe, or the realistic timeframe to complete networkdevelopment given the allocated funding. Without this information, a cycling strategicplan can stagnate with no clear council support for funding, and no likely timeframefor completion.However, the cost of cycle network development may appear so high that it fails to getthe necessary support. An alternative approach is to identify a limited network to beimplemented over 10 years based on achievable funding.The network development planning process, timelines and budget setting will need todovetail with other planning processes such as asset management plans, annual plansand LTCCPs.10.5 Sample mapsFigure 10.1 (see opposite) is from a detailed cycle network map for a city and shows:• relevant land use — schools, reserves and retail centres• graded cycle routes — highly trafficked, intermediate and recreational• existing and proposed paths• locations for intersection treatment and existing and proposed gradeseparated crossings.66
