Overview

Transport for Norwich: consultation on proposals for an extension to the Yellow Pedalway on Holt Road (A140)

Norfolk County Council is asking for feedback on the proposed extension to one of Norwich’s cycle-friendly routes, known as the Yellow Pedalway.

The aim of this project is to improve facilities for those walking, wheeling (using wheelchairs or pushchairs) and cycling on the A140 Holt Road, between Amsterdam Way and the roundabout with the Broadland Northway (A1270). It also aims to increase the number of bus stops for people using public transport, while improving safety for all road users by reducing vehicle speeds on this major route.

The overall budget for this project is around £1.9m, with funding coming from the Greater Norwich Growth Boards Infrastructure Investment Fund, the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund and Norfolk County Councils Local Transport Plan.

If approved for construction following the consultation periods, we plan for work to start on site early next year.

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.

After reviewing the proposals below please answer the questions in the online survey on the following page.

What happens next

The deadline for consultation responses is 26th August 2024. 

Responses will be carefully considered in consultation with relevant councillors and representatives before any decisions are made on how to proceed with the project.

The legal notices and Traffic Regulation Orders associated with these proposals will be progressed as part of this work. Comments on these can be made during this consultation but there will be the opportunity to respond to these, including the speed limit extension, during the formal advertising period. The webpage below will be kept up to date with the relevant advertisements and timescales.

Consultation on tree removal

For this project to be delivered according to the proposal plans, we need to remove some vegetation, which falls under our street tree consultation process. The proposal plans show the areas affected and we will be carrying out a separate consultation on this before any clearance work is given approval. You can find out more information, including timescales and how to get share your feedback on the tree consultation when the time comes by visiting the project web page below.
