Birmingham Connected – provision of Sprint Bus

Lack of high quality pedestrian and cycle routes
Limited alternative models of travel
Wider package of connectivity improvements – A45 corridor and proposed Metro route
Our shared agendaWork with the Future Cities Catapult
Identify core issues and baseline what is already happening
Identify those key clusters of projects in the East Birmingham Corridor that have the potential to be integrated and enhanced by insights, data and technology and contribute to the opportunity and quality of life of people and businesses in the area.
Work with those partners already delivering projects, existing / planned investments; those willing to make it happen.
Develop 6-8 projects, outcome driven, delivered with focus, rigour and impact
Create vision and framework for Eastern Corridor but demonstrate how it will help crack the bigger nuts
