1.1 INTRODUCTION PROJECT SCOPE It is envisaged that ENROUTE is the first of many pilot project’s to promote safe cycling practices and proficiency in the central business district and surrounds of Sydney City. It uses the discipline of an Arts and Design practice to conceptualise journeys in a mode of transport that effects the relationship of our urban environment for its protection and improvement. The medium is communication technologies that are the network of sociability, for this reason it can synthesise many aspects that are desirable to improve our urban environment and wellbeing. The ENROUTE project aims to demonstrate, in the medium of technology, a three dimensional design piece, to promote data collection by cyclists using the internet. Data that is captured to observe and assess the journey and travel behaviour of cyclists. This data be a predictive tool to visualise new developments in urban and traffic planning. ENROUTE demonstrates an Arts and Design project that has functional social benefits using the medium of mobile phone capture of imagery, video and photographic. The methodology of this production synthesizes disciplinary work as a cumulative process that has many possible outcomes for the Art and Design practitioners and those involved in its research, production and manufacturing. The project requires the physical capture of video material, cartography, graphic design, sculpture, photography, electronics, three dimensional design and manufacture. The foundation idea throughout the project ‘ENROUTE’ has been personal freedom and safety, moving about one’s urban space, social wellbeing the other consumerism with objects and their ownership. 'The term 'collaborative consumption' is used to describe the cultural and economic force away from '’hyper consumption’ to re-invented economic models of sharing, swapping, bartering, trading or renting that have been enabled by advances in social media and peer-to-peer online platforms.1 'The concept has been championed by R.Botsman and R.Rogers, (June 2010), ABC Television's Big Ideas programme included a segment showing Botsman's speech at the TEDx Sydney conference in 2010, describing collaborative consumption as "a new socio-economic 'big idea' promising a revolution in the way we consume".2

1.2 PROJECT MISSION To promote sustainable transport for inner city precincts that demonstrates a clean and nonhazardous effect in our city environments, a low reliance on fossil fuels, a shift of attitudes from dependance on motorised transport to the independence of making journeys by bicycle. _____________________________________
1.2.1 POLICY Sustainable transport and planning ‘To influence travel behaviour it is imperative that needs of a community are considered and captured through good quality planning before infrastructure is put in place. Destination analysis and planning software will enable developers to predict travel behaviour and trip generation. This should ensure that, from inception to maturity, appropriate sustainable travel choices can be provided both within and beyond Growth Points and Eco-towns.’ Opportunities must be created within the planning process to make cycling, walking and public transport the modes of choice. These modes must be made more convenient for the majority of journeys than car usage, to promote genuine modal shift. They should be supported by the necessary management and regulatory measures (e.g. Traffic Regulation Orders).3 _____________________________________

1.2.2 LOCATION The settlement of Sydney began on 26 January 1788, when the 11 ships of the "First Fleet" dropped anchor at Sydney Cove by 1842 the City of Sydney was established with 30,000 people. The City’s streets have been the subject of ongoing modifications, alterations and confusions. Many streets have disappeared, been realigned, or renamed; while many others are being created. There are 33 precincts of the Local Government, comprising a site area of approximately 26.15km². ‘Many would argue that the haphazard quality of its street alignments gives Sydney a charm that no city constrained by grids or directed into planners’ artistic curves of roads could ever achieve.’ 4 ( S. Fitzgerald 1995) Its central business district is estimated to have 483,000 people travel to the City on any day to shop, be educated, conduct business with firms in the City or simply to be entertained. This is additional to the 385,000 daily workforce in the City and over 2.6 million visitors to the Sydney Metropolitan area. (June 2008) ‘The City of Sydney is committed to cooperating with residents, government and transport operators to provide a high quality transport network for a sustainable, vibrant City. Cycling is a convenient, sustainable and enjoyable way to get around Sydney. Construction of a high quality network of cycle paths and lanes that will make cycling a relaxed, safe, mainstream transport option for adults and children.’5 _____________________________________ Dawes Point Reserve on Sydney Cove.

1.3 VISIONARY Jan Ghel, Danish Architect and Urbanist
“A good city is like a good party - people stay longer than they planned to because they are enjoying themselves.” Professor Jan Gehl “Gehl's study will be a landmark urban design initiative for the City to help strike a balance between people, cars and the built form.” Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP Sydney CBD Public Spaces Public Life Survey 20086
1.3.1 PROJECT VISION 1. To promote cycleway routes throughout the City of Sydney CBD that demonstrate the principals of transportation by human powered mode for; safety, health and the ecology. 2. This vision is achieved with proactive collaboration of the community, the government bodies and local councils, these are empowered to inspire and invigorate our environment. 3. To create a ‘pilot project’ to encourage bicycling as a contribution to the social wellbeing of the community. _____________________________________ 6

FOR FUN VIMEO VIDEO ‘In the big picture, more cyclists mean fewer cars on the road and less air pollution. The European Cyclists' Federation is pushing for greater funding for bike-friendly initiatives in urban settings. The ECF estimates that increasing cycling levels from 5 to 15 percent in Europe could reduce carbon dioxide emission by 50 million tons and plans to do so by 2020. Fifteen thousand people already bike into Greater Copenhagen from the suburbs, so these "bicycle superhighways" will enhance their commute and also make cycling more appealing for those who do not. ’ Stephanie Robichaux, September 23, 2009
1..3.2 PROJECT STRATEGY Actions To engage bicyclists in activities that promote • Safety, health and fun with the activity of city cycling. To broadcast in key locations in the CBD • Advertising, arts activities, social systems. To create a central CBD location base for • Broadcasting bicycling activities. To maintain a City presence • Increasing bicycling participants. To create secure stand and rack spaces for bicycles in ‘car parks’, parks and pedestrian precincts in the CBD • Create visibility, ease of use, create a mentality of good planning and community. To fund the increase of numbers of participants in the audience demographic • Create income from the hire and advertising of bicycles • Create new business in local deliveries • Enable small business opportunities Outcomes • Minimise greenhouse gas emissions • Manage the impact of climate change • Localise City amenities • Reduce reliance on traditional transport energy resources

• Don’t own a car • Don’t have driver’s license • Maintain economic competitiveness • Improve health and well-being • Livable green network to encourage walking and cycling linking activity hubs, city centre • Active main streets lanes pedestrian and cyclist priority • Densely planted trees roadways • Ribbons of green pubic access to the Harbour’s edge • Celebrates outdoor life • Take action through effective partnerships Tactics 1. Create and promote social activity project: arts - audio visual, photography, biographies. 2. Create a presence with strong branding in Advertising and promotion; livery, web, print and radio. 3. Establish a central location based on the most dense population of commuter and student groups. 4. Critical selection of equipment for hire: foldable, easy to use, lightweight, durable, safe. 5. Raise awareness through partnership, sponsors and promote these groups on Livery designs and Advertising. Goals Urban journeys using bicycle transport to capture data as a resource for the promotion and planning of cycleway systems within a social urban environment. The outcomes potentially promote a mobility system with the easy hire, pick-up and drop off at inter-model journey points, without ownership and maintaining a bicycle. 1. to enliven our City’s urban environment for the primary purpose of social interaction. 2. to inspire the design structure and development of urban environments that encourage social interaction. 3. to create a green innovation by reducing noise, carbon pollution of motorised congestion to a low level in the environment. Statistics 1. 1,154,077 bicycles sold per annum against 937,328 motor vehicles, ratio of bike to cars sold 123%. 7 2. $3.8 million has been allocated to 78 councils for 93 local cycleway projects.* 3. There are now more than 3900 km of cycleways in NSW*. 4. Social/recreational purposes continue to be the primary reason for bicycle trips especially for weekends.* 5. Students and the unemployed have the highest rates of bicycle use.* 8(2005) 6. There are an average of 131,249 bicycle trips made every day in the greater Sydney Region.9 7

‘The City wants Sydneysiders to choose cycling as their sustainable and convenient form of transport. Work has been undertaken on a 200 km cycleway network that includes 50 km of separated cycleways. This infrastructure, along with the City's free cycling courses, cycling events and education campaigns will help make Sydney a more cycle-friendly city.’10 (2007)
1.4 BACKGROUND TO THE IDEA Technology offers navigational systems in common usage delivered by wireless connectivity and a part of the contemporary urban lifestyle. Everything out there can be searched, found, watched listened to and traced. Products and commerce, such as maps with views from distant space to ground level ‘street views’, displaying details of density, fabrication, style, layout, transport systems, population centres and statical information available to decipher and interpret everything that moves throughout our environment.
1.4.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF IDENTIFICATION Creating an identity to mark the territory for the cyclist, promoted by Bike Buddies and the ENROUTE hire system to attract new users as a contender to motorised transport. The aim is to change the mindset from a road hinderance, accident prone nuisance to a pro-active, community and social interactivity. The registration of a business operation requires a name to register with Corporate Affairs and the Australian Tax Office, this registers as a legal entity that s bound by rules, regulations, law, and restrictions, all a series of guidelines on a business and its operation in the economy and community. It creates a brand image that is constructed with a set of values that it intends to uphold. These aspects are visually represented by a set of graphic components that delver it through a range of mediums such as advertising, publicity, promotions, sales and service. Branding is a form of labelling that communicates and flags a business organisation to its user and target audience, the demographics that it needs to respond to. Identification Example Designer Patrick Jouin Designed the hire cycle and hire stations for the Parisian Vélo system. 48 Boulevard de la Bastille, Paris.

This is a specialied and highly contrived visual communication. It needs to convey all and everything that the institution wishes to deliver, it needs to be persuasive, noticeable, legible and talk to its audience. It needs to uphold the vision and the mission of the people it serves both inside the organisation and the marketplace. It needs to be distinctive where there are many organisations in its category, it needs to stand out from the crowd to assert itself, it is both the badge and the shield.

A branding device can be constructed of several components such as a wordmark, a set of colours, a specifically authored term know as a tag line or a descriptor. it can use a preselected set of materials and fabrication of which has simple and subtle messages and associations. it is a contrived communication and it takes time for it’s implementation of many items within a organisation, these can be preselected ‘corporate messengers’ for communication and broadcast. The brand can have several layers of meaning and not all revealed immediately. The can be derived from history, culture, desired associations, be literal, play with words and meaning, double entendres and have a visual pun or hidden symbol that reveals to leave a good and lasting impression with the reader. A corporate identity has many levels of functionality. It is a visual system of communication for both the people who work inside and those outside the organisation. It visualises the components of an organisation; its people, what tasks and duties they perform, it’s values, products and services. It advertises and promotes these to the community. It establishes over a time, a personality that represents all those aspects and has a tone of voice and characteristics that become synonymous with any associative representations.

COFA0930 Managing Creativity Project 3B Isobelle Pover-Leong
1.4.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF THE IDEA Place the project on a firm ground and create the opportunity for its success. Bicycle journeys are recorded in urban precincts and captured in a database to be used for developing cycleway systems, promoting their benefits and planning the development of urban design and commercial precincts. To make bicycle movement accessible for everyone, a hire system is to be established reducing ownership costs, maintenance and insurance of a personal bicycle. The responsibility of ownership becomes third party such as a local council, a commune, or a private enterprise. Partnered by local businesses and transport modes such a train stations and ferry quays to participate in the long term goal of sustainable cyclist and pedestrian movement, urban design and commercial vitality.
1.4.3 PROJECT ENROUTE AIMS To promote mobility in city precincts, a self-service hire system to pick-up and drop-off a bicycle at docking stations will enable casual to regular transport. Membership offers the hire of a cycle with Member Account (access fee) and for the amount of time a rider has it (usage charge) debited from a Member’s account at the end of an access period. Creating and producing outdoor three dimensional, signage system that is integrated in urban design and promotes art and design works that function as a wireless port to display and capture data for statistics and public information. Promoting a registration online for localised mobility cycle pick-up and drop-off • Capturing cyclists movements in their urban environment; where, why, when, duration, journey plotting • Data used to improve existing cycleways • Lobbying for the design of transport systems that preserve the environment and enrich personal wellbeing and promote health and safety • Creating smaller localised centres for social support and interaction • Signed cycling routes • Quieter routes recommended by other cyclists • Greenways through parks and harbourside • Off-carriage way alternatives to busy roads • Stations and Quays with cycle parking • Useful information and contacts • Creating a web site that is functional, attracts and adds opportunity for; bookings, interaction blogs, sales, promotion, maintenance, planning, learning about urban/bio-environment.

2.1 ORGANISATION MODEL DESIGN • • • •
An organisation exists to achieve something’, ‘effectively achieved through a group effort’ 11 (Robbins, Bardwell, 2006) An organisation is a consciously managed and co-ordinated social entity, with an identifiable boundary, which functions on a relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or set of goals 12 (Robbins, Bardwell, 2006) It is a group of people who interact in a composition of defined patterns that are managed and co-ordinated to achieve the organisations interests.
A case study, ‘Virgin Blue takes to the skies’13 , an example model for this project. It’s fundamental organisational structure, attitudes, persona and image, its location of startup being a political advantage appear to be tactics of significance for the successful startup of the Encore Project. An initial layout to identify essential tasks to launch the project, expanding these within the guidelines of the Mission and its vision. The diagram indicates how tasks are allocated and the flexibility with these. How areas of responsibility are connected or flow throw in a sequential order. it shows a warp and weft style of how people their tasks, ideas and duties are interconnected and rely on each other’s performance, these are deliberate directions that promote the organisations interests. The project proposal has at its core a communication executed as a public arts project as a means of generating broadcast. The language and intellect of an arts community is the creative fun and driver of its personnel. The five key areas of personnel; 1. Project team and founder, 2. Bike personnel, 3. Partners and 4. Audience Demographic, Non hierarchal communication and leadership may be most productive way, to utilises the diversity of each group.

2.2 PARTNER City of Sydney City of Sydney > Word Mark and Symbol
The first approach is planned to the largest beneficiary and benefactor, the City of Sydney local council as cited in this proposal their aims for the projected years until 2020 with dedication to reduction of the use of fossil fuels and its impact on the environment. This council has a integral relationship with the Road and Traffic authority of NSW and this can be aligned and leveraged compatibly with this aims of this project. The City of Sydney supported ‘The Dreams on Wheels’ exhibition was held at the University of Technology, Sydney in June 2008 to feature the Danish culture of cycling and innovative Danish bicycle design. Motivated by how a ‘cyclocentric’ approach to urban development can stimulate sustainable civic behaviour, the exhibition promotes cycling in a broader cultural context, displaying Danish urban cityscapes alongside urban visions for Australia by Danish architect Jan Gehl.

2.3 ORGANISATION DESIGN - FIGURE 2 page 19. Figure 2, on the following page, shows the structure of the organisational parts showing four resources; Human, Financial, Information and Physical. The ‘warp’ and a ‘weft’ structure is fabricated with tasks, responsibilities, skills, experience and knowledge. The organisation has a flow, energised by the human resource’s ideas, motivation and inspiration called ‘soft stuff’’ this requires thinking, acknowledgment and skillful report writing to realise ‘soft stuff’ as factual and evident. These are often invisible and reveal as interpersonal relationships develop. The team members have a diversity and mix. The working methodologies emanate from the leadership style of management that is participative and democratic. The organisation is professional and the intellectual abilities and skills of employees are similar and complementary. Most tasks will be self directed and intrinsically motivated.14 Leadership and direction are delivered in transparent style using open discussion and invited questions, the ‘what ifs?’ and ways of problem solving to be considered with divergent and convergent thinking as a systematic method. To establish a process will realise the skills and knowledge that aren’t immediately tangible.
• Documenting with short criteria for aims. • Factual presentation • Discussion of problems points • Consider extents, such as timing, costs, requests ‘feedback’ - possibilities • Addition and reduction to essential data. • Revise and represent the data. The website will provide interactive data from the Audience to be used as a rich resource for observation and planning.

2.4 COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDER GROUPS Methods of communication are offering more choices from pen and paper to many forms of personal mobile , PDA’s. This can make tracking and collation messy and unrecorded. A vital piece of information maybe stored incorrectly, misplaced, trashed and unretrievable. There will be points of difference on this issue and it needs constructing and a little time to trail and revise before the project gets underway. There are companies who consult on; communication pathways, intellectual property, who sees what, a need to know basis, and protection of company data as a silo. There are new technologies that smooth the pathways and protect information from loss and intellectual theft. One such company CISCO have a portfolio of many technologies and support to enable the smooth collection, transference and protection of information. This project relies on internet and wireless platforms and this issue could be examined under ‘risk’. 1. A clear methodology needs to be laid out this will formalize a process and aim at informing the team and extended into workstations not in the project office.Assign the team leader for each area to collect information. 2. Report need to have a pro-forma that everyone will recognise and use the format.Use the internet to broadcast fundamental issues and raise Q&A 3. Agree on a set of areas for; investigation, quantitive response, progress report on each stage of the project development and the implementation of an action plan. 4. Report on these and meet one month or at agreed regular interval meetings. 5. Responses on agreed reporting and revision of these after a Q&A. 6. Delegate from a revised action list to respond at a following meeting. 7. Online, Introduce and publish, the staff and stakeholder profiles as each member joins the project, giving scope of responsibilities and actions. 8. Invite and create an agenda for special ‘fun’ meetings that kick-off with presentations of two to three important problems items. 9. Set guidelines such as strict time limits. 8. Solve this as a teams based think tank topics that create new outcomes to ideas.

3.0 RISK MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES Effect of uncertainty on objectives
‘Risk management can be applied to an entire organisation, at its many areas and levels, at any time, as well as to specific
functions, projects and activities.’15 (VMIA from ISO 2009)
Strategies and decisions, operations, processes, functions, projects, products, service and assets. Managing a project is managing its risks, finding the problems and the positive outcomes. Project management is risk management in the scope of maintaining the customer relationship to protecting the projects critical path. By examining potential risks or threats in a project the solutions can effect value to the product and an improvement in its service for the customer and relations. The process is both productive and creative. Risk can be defined as ‘Variance of deviance from the plan, a hazard or an opportunity with the expectations of timing, financial and customer or user.
Risk management Principles The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) identifies the following principles of risk management 16 applied to project ENCORE as set out in eleven points on the following page.
15 (Source: Draft ISO31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines, ISO, 2009) 16 Founded on February 23 1947, the organization promulgates worldwide proprietary industrial and commercial standards. It has its headquarters inGeneva Switzerland. While ISO defines itself as a non-governmental
organisations, its ability to set standards that often become law, either through treaties or national standards, makes it more powerful than most non-governmental organizations. In practice, ISO acts as a consortium with strong links to governments.

4.1 A n a t o m y o f p r o j e c t m a n a g e m e n t The workload, the team disciplines and its numbers will fluctuate throughout the project’s duration and is subject to unpredictability with tasks, scope, and development as more observations and investigation results are accumulated. A successful outcome will aim at a modular project framework to be leveraged and individualised to each CBD and community. Teams will attract members with likeminded values and a diversity of backgrounds. This team is ideal for the process of cross-disciplinary work; a think-tank of diverse individuals sharing basic values towards a goal; urban and environmental harmony, each with it’s own hallmark of functionality. Different team members will harvest a model tailored to the environs where the project functions, it is organically grown. Organisational effectiveness relies upon three closely linked platforms; • Vision provides stability and meaning • Culture collaborative thinking, working in a creative management process • Focus is the planning process that builds upon the foundation of vision and culture These are the principal functions of leadership in areas critical to effective organisational transformation’17 (T.Scott and P. Harker, 2002) The project is a trial located in the City of Sydney’s CBD where the theme is active for this study. The scope of the project will expand in the long term as the ideas are trialled and revised. The project’s task is promotions and a safe cycling program in the public domain, aiming at increasing Bicycling as a mode of transport for commuting and short local trips. The focus is on the largest user groups; students, commuters and local resident community. The project will become a network of groups pooling resources in various ways.

4.2 VALUE ADDING These are the envisaged developments that could add value to the project and collected by market research to quantify and interpret for adding value to the project for stakeholder. These facts could be integrated into advertising and promotions materials;1. A more social city with opportunities for riders to investigate local shops and facilities, more fun and increase in commercial activity 2. Fitter and more mobile community 3. Expansion of new business for Home Deliveries and Bicycle Couriers 4. Levels of confidence to ride safely increased 5. Increase in number of journeys made for short trips without parking and congestion negating trips 6. Less cars in the city centre, less congestion, less pollution 7. More city space, less parking of cars, less car parking stations.More designated cycleways 8. Increase in bicycle and equipment sales. Enroute utilises wireless technology and the internet extending a Partnership program into new business, as more riders with arts and design expertise join Enroute. A Public Arts Program is a series of related events and installations that will maintain a robust presence in the public domain, attract attention and keep this as a social project, therefore social online networks could be utilise: 1. FaceBook Twitter, Blogs, Flickr, Vimeo, YouTube. 2. Involvement in the existing in the International Bike Film Festival. 3. Companies that sell Navigational systems 4. Radio interviews and advertising Bike Meetings and Picnics, Fun Rallies 5. Bike Buddies to establish a regular ride round the city limits as escorts and ambassadors for Sydney and at the gateway for tourists and visitors.

‘Planning and decision making are seldom orderly and sequential but emerge from situations of chance and the internal workings of the firm.’ 18 Lindblom (1959)
Planning mode 1. Project founder to present the project at question and answer forum: clearly defining the principles of the mission, its policy, rationale and goals. 2. Establish the core team’s working methods; how each relates to the project, the leadership style as a from of governance, hierarchy, responsibilities and communication processes in the team dynamic. 3. Allocate tasks against objectives and goals - areas of responsibility. 4. Study and collect data; methodology, information, practice and process from established Cycle Hire projects. 5. Assess competitive prospects. 6. Set the objectives against a timeline and who is responsible. 7. Establish a work process. 8. Resources budget, define income points. 9. Create team of Bike Buddies. 10. Purchase bicycles, equipment, insurance. 11. Establish CBD cycle routes. 12. Advertise project using different co-ordinated mediums. 13. Bike Buddies Tour to Inner City Marketplaces.

‘Strategy may be defined as the determination of the basic long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise, and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources necessary for carrying out these goals.’ 19 (Chandler 1962)
4.3.2 Prospector strategy ‘Success depends on developing and maintaining the capacity to survey a wide range of environmental conditions, trends and events and then introduce new products based on that research. Flexibility of organisational structure is critical, with decentralised control with lateral and vertical communications. 20 The Enroute organisation is set up in a warp and weft structure, with key personnel to facilitate creative communications of ideas and strategies to employ them.

5.1 CRITICAL PATH DESIGN COMMUNICATION PROCESS Example 15 steps, this demonstrates the interaction of groups and individual responsibilities, it is seen as a reiterative process, each stage can take 1 hour, a day or a week, so timing is dependent on good sources of information with specifics. This is a disciplined process, although it is fun and ideas from think tank sessions are motivating from challenges and successes, a set of aims needs to be defined at the end of each meeting or discussion.

5.4.3 INSTALLATION LOCATIONS
The Domain, the Botanical Gardens, the Cook and Phillip Park and Hyde Park are places in proximity to the City Centre. These vast parklands offer a diversity of recreational possibilities for the people of Sydney and hold the opposites to a dense and busy City Centre - quietness, space for big events or for space demanding activities, few sensual impacts and a low noise and pollution level. As such the qualities of these natural reserves are needed ingredients in a busy city. What is also offered from e.g. Bennelong Point or Mrs.Macquaries’s Chair are views of the city and the Harbour allowing people to perceive a perspective of the city they are using in their daily lives.25 (Gehl 2007) Arts: Australian Arts Council: Digital Arts Film Finance Company, Australian Centre for Photography, Film Finance Corporation, Canon, Urban Planning and Development Supporters (For Example) Bicycle related manufacturers of equipment, Products and Service; Aussie Butt cream, Shimano, Bike Thompson, Bike Technologies Australia, Clarence St Cyclery, Supporting Insurance: CycleCover - Insurance for the Cycling World, Supporting Intermodal transport: NSW Transport: Sydney Ferries, Sydney Buses, City Rail, Airlines; Qantas, Jet star, Virgin Blue Equipment, Materials - Resources (For Example) Modular Shipping containers: Bike Shed and Project office fit-out and administrative equipment, Signage and advertising, Bicycle Fleet and accessories, Telecommunications and equipment, Fleet of Bicycles and Bicycle equipment, Bicycle Maintenance Tools Networkers and Social Networks Bike Buddies Bicycle Film Festival Bicycle Blog Bicycle Twitters Local Parks and Wildlife Mapping, GPS applications for mobile phone, and mobile GPS handsets and systems Productivity and commerce • new ideas, innovative architecture, built environment and urban design developments • new ideas about the amenities for the work place; bicycle parking, shower and locker rooms • new business for local deliveries of household supplies, food and drink, gifts and small parcels • new localised produce and small home industries
