The Council are proposing some changes to the Emerald Way cycle route along Rabans Lane, through Fairford Leys and into Aylesbury Town Centre.
They want to encourage walking and cycling between Waddesdon and Aylesbury by upgrading the existing cycle route, in a bid to get more people to use it.
Location of the proposal on Google Maps: Emerald Way area
The Council have been awarded £1.748 million from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund towards the proposed Emerald Way changes.
And are proposing the following changes:
- Routing to include quieter roads
- Planting of additional trees and shrubs to create a welcoming and greener route
- Some footway widening
- Improved wayfinding signage as well as additional lining
- In some areas, works such as dropped kerbs will be required as well as improved and additional crossings
- A more attractive, traffic-free option to Fowler Road by routing through Somerville Park.
They are encouraging the public to share their views on the changes, but hurry you only have until Midnight (9/3).
