Mr. Colin Ryan:

Broadly speaking, cycling is an issue. The improvement of infrastructure is ongoing at present. Obviously the infrastructure can be improved and assisted. From a planning point of view, we are looking to support that by using the design manual for urban roads and streets, DMURS. The DMURS document is very useful as it has brought forward standards for people and shows them ways to assist other modes of transport be it pedestrian or cycling. Infrastructure can be improved and should be improved as part of the broader premise of designing urban roads and streets but it is not part of my departmental responsibility in terms of funding.
