Pedestrian crossings, bridges and cycle lane plans for Wolverhampton ring road
Pedestrian crossings, bridges and cycle lanes could be built along Wolverhampton's ring road as part of ambitious plans for a huge revamp of the city centre.
Council chiefs want to encourage people to visit the city on foot or bike rather than clogging the roads with cars.
They will look at improving facilities in particular around the Chapel Ash island, Stafford Street, and Ring Road St Mark's and St Peter's.
It could include crossings on the road, bridges or even subways.
A public consultation has been launched on the city's area action plan, which features the proposals and other ideas including a canal quarter, city centre cinema and 2,000 new homes.
More detailed plans will be drawn up if they get public backing.
"Pedestrians and cyclists need to be provided with a choice of attractive and convenient crossings over the ring road."
Councillor Elias Mattu, cabinet member for leisure and communities, has hailed the plans as a 'vision for the city' and said chiefs were 'absolutely determined that it will come together as we hope'.
