The proposed walking and cycling scheme at Rayner Lane in Droylsden Residents are being asked to give their views on a number of planned walking and cycling schemes worth nearly £1m that will see some Tameside roads closed to cars.
Three schemes are being proposed by the council for roads in Droylsden, Stalybridge and Audenshaw which will see a range of measures, including new pedestrian crossings.
However a proposal for Ross Lave Lane in Denton will not be going ahead due to the ‘affordability’ in the overall Mayor’s Challenge Fund, which is being used to deliver the Bee Network, and technical challenges.
The estimated cost of the three latest schemes in Tameside is £970,000, according to a report presented to cabinet.
At Rayner Lane in Droylsden chiefs are proposing an improved off-highway cycle and pedestrian route between the Ashton Moss Metrolink stop on Lord Sheldon Way and Heron Drive in Audenshaw.
It would connect to existing cycling and walking facilities, with filtered access points at both ends and see a shared footway and cycleway created on both sides of the road.
