To increase the take up of cycling and walking across the city, a number of improvements are required to existing infrastructure that will give the user a safer, more interconnected and more enjoyable experience.

The Great Western Way (GWW) is enjoyed by many walkers and cyclists but contains a number of crossing points with the road network that deter potential users and present difficulties to existing travellers.

The proposed measures not only address pinch points at various stages of the GWW but are aimed at bringing the standard of the route more in line with Local Transport Note 1/20.

Included in this package is a proposal to improve the crossing at the Blackfriars Street/Edgar Street junction. This is designed to enable cyclists and walkers improved access on the east/west axis.
