KYLEAKIN CYCLE PATH

It is proposed to construct a Cycle Path connecting the villages of Kyleakin and Broadford as an off-road route and constructing new sections to keep the entire route on one side of the road.

At present cyclists and walkers have to use the very busy and quite dangerous A87.

The two routes that have been considered are either to utilise the Old Road or to take the route by Kyleakin Forest.

We will be submitting Applications for Funding to "appoint a Consultant to carry out a Feasibility Study into the Aspirational Route", in the next Financial Year.

We have outline permission from the Estate of Sir Iain Noble (Fearann Eilean Iarmain) to put the Route in across his land and we have received positive feedback at a Site Meeting with FCS.

We have appointed a Civil Engineering Company, that specalises in Cycle Path Networks,  to carry out a Feasibility Study.

• Transport, Planning & Engineering Ltd are part of Cycling Scotland.

In 2008, Travellers with caravans and motorhomes were illegally camping on two areas of the Old Road and left behind a field of detritus.

The two areas are the access track to the Old Fank field, to the north of the A87, and the entrance to Kyleakin Forest to the south.

As an act of goodwill to the Landowners, we carried out a Clean-Up of these two areas on Thursday, 2nd April 2009.  Details may be found on the "Dear Diary" pages.
