Our Street Allocation Framework: helping us plan across the city
As part of Our Future Streets strategy, the Street Allocation Framework provides a blueprint for how we can bring about positive changes to our city streets.
It is the starting point for designing all future projects and helps us deliver a clear, coherent and efficient network for all modes of travel, including general traffic.
Importantly, it helps us engage on any proposals and show you how these fit into citywide plans. You can use this framework to help you understand how your street, neighbourhood or project is part of the wider city network.
It guides us on how much space we can provide for each mode of travel without compromising the citywide integrated networks, and helps us to design streets for everyone, whatever their circumstances, including
- pavements for walking and wheeling
- creating a more pleasant environment to spend time, with benches, seating and planters
- providing local access, loading and parking for blue badge holders and others with mobility issues
- bus priority at junctions and bus lanes
- safe cycling, including protected cycle tracks
- space and priority for trams where relevant

We will soon add an interactive GIS map which you can use to help you understand out Street Allocation Framework and find out more detail about your neighbourhood and the wider city.
