Frome Greenway Transformation - have your say

The Frome Greenway Transformation is an ambitious project which sets out a vision for an important transport corridor, and includes a range of enhancements including an upgraded cycle and pedestrian routeway.

The central objective is to greatly increase the usage of the route by cyclists and pedestrians, whilst achieving a shift away from vehicle use, and associated air-quality improvement. The outcome will be a well marked, continuous route that has the following attributes: environmental enhancement; distinct identity; high quality designed features; good linkages along (and into) the corridor; improved ecology, amenities, and safety.

This scheme will provide the final missing link in a continuous, largely off road, route from Cabot Circus to Eastville Park, Snuff Mills and Frenchay. Part of the route will be on a shared-use footway alongside the one way section of Stapleton Rd where there is currently no provision for cyclists to go north. This will require some re-location of parking, but more parking will be created to replace that which is lost and also to provide some additional spaces. The extra width and removal of pavement parking will be of huge benefit to pedestrians, wheelchair users, the elderly and families as well as cyclists.

The consulation is open until 6th April.
