People on foot and people on cycles - infrastructure gap

In West Sussex, people on foot have 8036 kms where they are segregated from motorised traffic. People on cycles have 1398 kms where they are segregated from motorised traffic.  See the facts on the attached table.   Some at WSCC believe that walking is 'more important' than cycling and that there needs to be a walking forum.   Modal shift will not come from even a doubling of walking infrastructure; whereas 8036 kms of good quality cycling infrastructure would work wonders.
