The CTC in Exeter forms the Exeter Cycle Forum:

And it has helped put together a vision for cycling in the city:




















Exeter Cycle Vision

This has very much been in response to the rate of development around Exeter and its impact on the surrounding infrastructure.

Exeter Cycle Forum - Workshop Exercise - June 2015


Options for the Development of Cycle Facilities in and around Exeter

At the Exeter Cycle Forum Meeting held on 16 June 2015 an exercise was undertaken to explore options for the development of the Exeter Cycle Network over the next 20 years.
This report contains
  • The brief for the Exercise
  • The notes produced by each of the four teams (called North, South, East and West), and
  • Additional notes provided by those unable to attend the meeting.
Each of the four teams annotated a map showing the changes to the Network that they propose. These are shown at the following four links together with a consolidated map showing the output from all four teams.
The following links show the original annotated maps.

Meanwhile, the Exeter Civic Society is showing interest in infrastructure:

Another area of interest for us is the huge bus station redevelopment, as well as the city’s transport and many waterways. We have recently set up the ‘Transport’ and the ‘River, Canal & Quayside’ sub-committees to study and monitor these.
