<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sunderland</strong> <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Update<br />
5.2.4 Measure 4 – Walking and Cycling Routes<br />
2007/08 Expectation<br />
The <strong>University</strong> was expected to liaise with the local planning authority to ensure that new walking<br />
routes through the re-developed developed City Campus link linked with <strong>Sunderland</strong> wide routes. The City<br />
Campus Development Framework aimed to develop a pedestrian friendly campus, with a car car-free<br />
core, replicating the successful St Peter’s experience.<br />
Progress to 2009/10 /10 and moving forward to 2012/13<br />
The <strong>University</strong> is in the process <strong>of</strong> improving pedestrian and cycle access across the campuses<br />
through the re-development development <strong>of</strong> the City Campus and through the St Peter’s Campus Masterplan.<br />
Opportunities arising from the new developments are being used to improve pedestrian and cycle<br />
access to the site as well as flows through the campuses.<br />
Due to the ongoing re-development development <strong>of</strong> the CCity<br />
ity Campus, it is difficult to assess the provision <strong>of</strong><br />
walking and cycling routes in and around the City Campus as the urban landscape is constantly<br />
changing. However, the City Campus Development Framework plans for segregation <strong>of</strong> car<br />
parking king from pedestrians, new public realm spaces and the development <strong>of</strong> clearly defined<br />
pedestrian routes, , which should encourage walking and cycling in and around the City Campus Campus.<br />
Additionally, the City Campus is also close to National Cycle Route 1.<br />
At St Peter’s Campus, the Masterplan will deliver consolidated parking areas, create green<br />
spaces, clearly define service routes, create shared surface areas and clearly mark marked walking<br />
routes. The evolving campus ampus layout will link new cycle routes with existing pprovision,<br />
including the<br />
C2C and Two Rivers Cycleway.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> has also produced walking route maps for both the City and St Peter’s campuses<br />
which can be accessed via the <strong>University</strong> website 37 has also produced walking route maps for both the City and St Peter’s campuses<br />
.<br />
The <strong>University</strong>’s ’s <strong>Travel</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Coordinator will continue to liaise with <strong>Sunderland</strong> derland City Council to<br />
ensure that pedestrian and cycle access to both campuses from the city centre is improved improved. The<br />
<strong>University</strong> will also liaise with architects Faulkner Browns to ensure that any planned cycle or<br />
pedestrian routes at either the City or SSt<br />
t Peter’s campus link into wider routes. When built, the<br />
routes should be clearly signposted.<br />
