Great Western Way active travel measures and cycle route improvements
Improvements to the Great Western Way cycle and pedestrian infrastructure between Barton Yard and Widemarsh Common will include:
- Improved access points
- The removal of pinch points
- New lighting
- Removing vegetation
- New cycleway surface
Delivering improvements to cycling and walking infrastructure within the city
This part of the programme will help to improve and extend active travel options throughout the county.
The project will provide enhanced active travel infrastructure between communities in the areas north of the river and the range of services, leisure facilities and employment in and around the city centre.
It will focus on making improvements to the Great Western Way cycle route from Barton Yard (Sainsbury's) through to Widemarsh Common.
Making these improvements will increase the number of people who regularly use the cycle route to travel across the city from north to south, reducing congestion and addressing some inequalities by improving access to the city centre.
