In terms of logging public opinion as to hot spots requiring improvement for cycling and walking, the CA have been developing an app. It will be interesting to see how we can use the app as part of the consultation process required as part of Active Travel Infrastructure investment, and potentially in M&E to demonstrate results/response to need.

There are 4 themes of 14 which are most relevant to transport but the model aligns well with Healthy Streets for example as an approach to place making and healthier environments.
