N Improv­ing how we travel in Aviemore

Over the past few years, we’ve been work­ing on ideas and con­sult­ing with res­id­ents on pro­pos­als for a safe route between Aviemore town centre and the Badenoch and Strath­spey Com­munity Hos­pit­al that is walk­ing, cyc­ling, wheel­chair and buggy friendly.

Con­struc­tion times­cales will depend on avail­able fund­ing, but we are keen for res­id­ents to be involved at every stage of the pro­cess as it develops.

More even sur­faces, dropped kerbs and few­er steep gradients

Widen pave­ments, fix gradi­ents, smooth sur­faces and dropped kerbs

More green­space with improved plant­ing, seat­ing and pub­lic spaces

Improve seat­ing, plant­ing and green­space where space and budget allows

The vis­ion – what we’re aim­ing for (1)

Sep­ar­ated cycle track

Pave­ment 1.5 – 2.0m

Car­riage­way 6.0 – 7.0m

Buf­fer Two Way Cycle Track 0.5m 2.0 – 3.0m

Pave­ment 1.5 – 2.0m

AA Where pos­sible on Dal­faber Drive and Grampi­an Road we are look­ing to cre­ate the road lay­out as shown above, with wide pave­ments, a segreg­ated cycle route for bikes, and the road for vehicles, buses and emer­gency services.

Where road space is limited

Pave­ment 1.5 – 2.0m

Car­riage­way 6.0 – 7.0m

Pave­ment 2.5 – 4.0m

This image shows anoth­er option where we don’t have the space for a fully sep­ar­ated cycle route. While we are hop­ing to avoid this, it may be required at some pinch points. At these loc­a­tions cyc­lists would be expec­ted to use the road.
