Public engagement

Much needed access route to provide safe cycling and walking. Needs to happen quickly to enable more healthy, carbon free travel. Much needed by locals and tourists.

Very supportive of this – it is great news – good for the local economy, good for visitors and locals alike, good for health and safety.

I think this is a great idea to get people out walking, cycling, etc to and from Aviemore/Carrbridge.

Safety is the main consideration but of course it also hugely benefits the economy, tourism, health and the environment.

This is great - please can we have it asap!

Overall, this is a very good design for a NM route. I noticed that it crossed quite a lot of side street. So, there should be a raised crossing on all the places the route crosses a side street so any NMU has priority over cars. This will also mean a smoother journey for NMUs as they don’t have to go down onto road level at any point.

Happy with preferred route apart from May be safety issue and will need very well sign posted and rubble strips on road. Also concern about ongoing maintenance which must be insured before planning is granted. So many paths in the area are not maintained.
