The A259 Hove seafront cycle lane could be extended further west – from Fourth Avenue to the Lagoon traffic lights – if councillors agree next week. They are being asked to authorise the start of work to turn one lane for general traffic into a “separated” cycle lane. The changes will bring 70 cycle parking spaces – some for specially adapted bicycles – as well as 26 parking spaces for blue badge holders, according to a report to councillors. The cycle lane extension builds on the cycle lane created along the south side of King’s Road, in Brighton, and Kingsway, in Hove, in August 2020. The council said that an analysis of cycle traffic in June 2021 recorded 4,897 daily users of the seafront cycle lane compared with 2,641 in June 2019.
