Your views on the proposed walking and cycling improvements to Mile Cross Road

Overview

Transport for Norwich Consultation: Walking and cycling improvements proposed for Mile Cross Road.

Norfolk County Council and the Transport for Norwich (TfN) partnership are asking for feedback on proposals to improve the Mile Cross Road and surrounding area so that more people choose to walk, wheel or cycle. 

The proposed route would provide safe cycle access linking North Norwich with the Marriott’s Way, which provides direct links to the city centre and beyond. Through traffic would be reduced, pavements and crossings would be more accessible and safety would be improved across the wider Mile Cross estate. This would also provide an improved cycle link for those travelling east or west via Margaret Paston Avenue and Half Mile Road.

Improving cycling links between Mile Cross, Hellesdon and the city centre were identified as a priority in Norfolk County Council’s Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) for Greater Norwich (consulted on in July 2021) and this scheme is supported by Norwich City Council. The work is estimated to cost £850,000 and would be funded by the Governments Active Travel Fund. This money cannot be used to fund other council services or initiatives and must be spent on cycle infrastructure.

The documents below detail exactly what we’re proposing and why and the accompanying plans show what the project could look like on the ground.
