Proposals include wider pavements and better cycle parking
New plans to transform a popular Cambridge area have been revealed by the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP). Riverside is used daily by thousands of pedestrians and cyclists, according to the GCP.
It forms part of the Bottisham Greenway. A GCP spokesperson said: “The GCP wants to enhance Riverside to create a safer, more accessible and more enjoyable route into the city and surrounding areas.”
Riverside stretches from the Elizabeth Way bridge to Stourbridge Common. The GCP’s proposals include:
- Wider, more consistent footways;
- New resting spots with planting and accessible seating;
- Clearer signage and improved pedestrian crossings;
- Safe, secure cycle parking.
Jonathan Camp, GCP Project Manager, said: “Riverside is already enjoyed by many people. These proposals aim to make it safer, greener and more inviting — a place where you can move easily, meet friends or simply enjoy being by the river.
“We’re asking everyone who uses Riverside to tell us what they think so we can create something that reflects what the community needs.”
A consultation on the proposals is running until Monday, July 13, at 11.59pm. It can be accessed at this link.
