Improvements to active travel in 'Science Vale' took a step forward as CulBUG met with @ollyglover.bsky.social & @nathanley.com at @ukaeaofficial.bsky.social Culham Campus on Friday.
In particular, there were ideas for short & long term solutions for A415 Tollgate crossing and Abingdon causeway π΄ββοΈ

Europa #FRideDays #Bikebus is finished til next term, so take a look at an alternate route we tried.
Neither road nor narrow 'shared path' is ideal for encouraging modal shift along an increasingly congested A415. π΄π΄π΄

CulBUG are working with Europa School to provide a bikebus every Friday (2 so far!). π²π¦π§π¦π§π²
A great community initiative, and it highlights the lack of safe cycle options for kids that would improve health and reduce congestion on A415.

Along the road the entire way with 2 marshals front and rear (+ DJ π¨βπ€πΆ)
Drivers were well behaved and as it is a regular Friday event road users should get accustomed to it in the coming weeks.
We decided not to divert onto the shared use path as it is still narrow for the size of the bikebus.

The A415 causeway is the main problem. It is currently a choice between a busy A-road or a narrow, bumpy, elevated footpath.
So many who would like to cycle to Europa School and @ukaeaofficial.bsky.social are instead pushed into cars, adding to congestion, pollution, and road danger.

Parents at the Europa School and staff at Culham Science Centre have presented an 870-name petition to Oxfordshire County Council calling for a cycle route along the A415 and a safe crossing. They say the current situation poses βan unacceptably high risk of injury and death for childrenβ.

Thank you for your support yesterday! π
Hopefully this regular event will highlight that there is no safe cycle provision along the causeway section of A415.
We should empower kids to get to school under their own steam, along with all the benefits that brings: βοΈ health++ βοΈ congestion--

Great news! But Culham is feeling a bit left out π So we have suggested a 'Harcourt Greenway'. It could form part of a route to get workers to Culham Campus from Oxford and also acts as a nice active travel route to Harcourt Arboretum for Abingdon/Didcot folk. Thoughts? πΆπ²
