Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure what plans there are to improve cycling infrastructure on the route between the Castlereagh Road and the Cregagh Road.

Answer:

The Belfast Cycle Network Delivery Plan (BCNDP) contains a large number of schemes that are intended to encourage cycling in the city and reduce the dependency on the use of the private car. My officials are currently developing a number of schemes within the BCNDP for inclusion in a short term plan for delivery between 2022 and 2025.

This includes a scheme on Montgomery Road and officials have recently carried out an informal consultation to allow designs to be finalised with a view to formal consultation taking place early in 2023.
