University of Sunderland Travel Plan Update
5.2.1 Measure 1 – Cycle Parking
2007/08 Expectation
In 2007/08, cycle parking spaces were provided at the following locations on the City Campus Campus:
• Murray Library entrance entrance;
• Gateway / Edinburgh Building;
• Technology Park;
• Rear of the Design Centre; and
• Darwin Car Park
At St Peter’s Campus in 2007/08, the majority of cycle parking was located around University
Square at the heart of the campus, providing spaces for approximately 40 cycles. A large
proportion of the cycle spaces were partially covered by adjacent buildings.
In the 2007/08 travel plan plan, it was concluded that approximately 100 additional cycle parking
spaces should be provided on campus by September 2009, with an additional 50 at City Campus
and 50 at St Peter’s. It was agreed that the additional cycle parking would be in the form of
Sheffield stands (or similar) similar), , in places which were easy to access and covered by either natural
surveillance or CCTV. Locked parking areas or cycle lockers would be considered for staff.
