Bus shelter temporary removal
From 1 August the Granby Way outbound bus shelter will be removed temporarily before construction can start on the bus layby. The bus services will continue to serve the bus stop until construction begins.
During construction, the stops will be temporarily suspended and replacement stops will be provided nearby. We will publish construction dates and the location of the replacement stops as soon as they are available.
A new bus shelter will be installed when construction is completed.
Scheme consultation
Scheme summary
This scheme forms part of a programme of investment through the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF), that collectively, helps reduce congestion, improve air quality and help the city prosper by investing in infrastructure to improve public and sustainable transport connectivity on key commuter routes across the city.
It is one of two walking and cycling improvement schemes that will provide the new link between St Budeaux, Devonport Dockyard and the city centre.
The Dockyard to city centre corridor has been identified as a route that could be significantly enhanced from a cycling and walking perspective.
The scheme aims to connect homes, workplaces, schools, shopping and leisure destinations via a mix of off-road and on-road provision suitable for all ages and abilities. A 2km off-road shared use path is proposed between Albert Road and High Street, leading to an on-road section between Clarence Place and King Street, and a new crossing at Mill Bridge.
Proposals include:
- Widening footpaths to the maximum width possible for a comfortable walking and cycling shared path
- De-cluttering the shared use path to minimise obstacles, with proposals to mitigate for any loss of street trees.
- Installing new crossings to make it easier and safer to cross the road at key points
- Upgrading existing crossings
- Measures to improve safety at junctions along the new route where it crosses side roads.
- New signage throughout to guide people along the route
- Reduced speed limits where on-road cycling is the only option available
- New cycle parking facilities
- Minor changes to parking and bus stop locations
