Walk the Walk

Fife Council is developing an Active Travel Strategy and Action Plan (ATSAP) … and one of the first projects being delivered will see improvements to pavements on Cupar’s Kirk Wynd and Crossgate junction, meeting the requests made by residents in the Local Place Plan.

Active travel refers to “people-powered transport: walking, wheeling (such as wheelchairs, scooters, prams and buggies) and cycling” …and the Kirk Wynd/ Crossgate junction will see a raised table to provide for smoother and safer access and use.

The table is being provided in response to community requests made in the Local Place Plan, delivered by Cupar Development Trust. The update from the council tells us: “It will help pedestrians in the Crossgate shopping area. The table will be formed using bituminous material.” A copy of the design drawing is shared below.

Should anyone wish to comment on the proposals, they are asked to email the Active Travel team via this link.

The council adds: “The ATSAP will set out a long-term vision for a high-quality network of routes that enable people to walk, wheel and cycle more easily and safely within and between Fife’s communities.  The network will be complemented by practical support and initiatives to help and encourage people to get more active.“
