Comment on the opportunities
the project offers to encourage (or discourage)
walking or cycling to local shops etc. in
neighbourhood centres. |
| Quantitative |
Change in numbers of cyclists
and pedestrians making journeys of more than
30 minutes a day, reported separately |
| Overall Assessment Score |
Total number of people walking
or cycling for more than 30 minutes a day.

7.9.2 Methods and Worksheets
This is a new topic, introduced
in A New Deal for Transport, however, GOMMMS
bases the appraisal on DMRB 11.3.8 where changes
in the extent (journey length) of walking
and cycling is taken into account. Worksheet
4.14 shows how the appraisal should be presented.

The estimates of journey length
for walking and cycling trips from DMRB 11.3.8
can be converted to journey times using standard
average walking and cycling speeds. It is
acceptable to use journey distance as a measure
and to set distance thresholds e.g. 6 km/day
for cyclists.
7.9.4 DMRB Stages 1 and 2/ GOMMMS
At DMRB Stages 1 and 2, information
will be less detailed and it may only be possible
to make a qualitative comment for the GOMMMS
appraisal.
