CityConnect Phase 3
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority's CityConnect programme works in partnership with a range of public, private and community organisations to encourage more people to take part in active travel – such as cycling or walking – by creating high quality cycling infrastructure alongside engagement initiatives such as cycle training, cycle challenges, business and school support and behaviour change campaigns.
CityConnect Phase 3
Phase 3 of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's CityConnect programme is made up of 8 schemes, 4 of which are complete, and includes a mixture of on and off-highway schemes across West Yorkshire and York. These schemes link in with previous CityConnect phases to further expand the cycling and walking network within West Yorkshire and York. For further information visit www.cyclecityconnect.co.uk
