A trio of new cycle lanes could be created across Liverpool as the city seeks to develop its active travel provision.
Liverpool Council has launched a six-week consultation on improvements to three routes that will equate to six kilometres of continuous lanes, as well as upgrades to footpaths and pedestrian crossing facilities. From now until September 9, views are being sought on the adoption of the routes at East Lancashire Road to the city centre – from Norris Green to Breck Road and on to Everton Park; Gateacre to the city centre – connecting up the university campuses through to the Knowledge Quarter, and Sefton Park to the city centre – connecting the Ropewalks to Baltic Triangle and on to Dingle and Aigburth.
The proposals are key to the city’s active travel programme and will fill gaps in the city’s existing network to tackle barriers to cycling. The new lanes will connect to other new routes such as the Princes Avenue cycleway in Toxteth and will complement schemes such as Lime Street in the city centre.
