"Upgrading existing (active travel) routes to bridleway status" results in cyclists sharing the same space with pedestrians, which is less safe for walkers due to the risk of collisions, so may produce no increase of foot traffic. Unsurfaced bridleways also suffer rutting and may become difficult to negotiate by walkers in wet weather/winter.
