We asked

In September 2022, we proposed to remove on-street parking to create a bi-directional, segregated cycle route on Alcester Road and St Mary’s Row; upgrade the existing toucan crossing to a pelican; make adjustments to the footway along Alcester Road, including footway widening and a shared use footway.

You said

In total, 320 responses were received to the consultation. Overall, 61% of respondents felt positive or mostly positive about the proposed changes, and of these, 40% strongly supported the changes. On the other hand, 21% felt negative or mostly negative about the proposed changes, with 15% strongly opposing them.

We did

The proposals outlined in the consultation will be progressed to the next stage of design development. Feedback from the consultation will be taken on board and where necessary certain changes may be introduced.

Overview

This project, funded by the Active Travel Fund, is part of the West Midlands Cycling & Walking programme and supports the proposed Places for People scheme.  We aim to make walking and cycling everyday choices for local journeys and leisure activities, as part of a safe and integrated transport network for Birmingham.

In 2020, a number of temporary changes were put in place in Moseley in response to COVID-19, to create safer spaces for people and to enable social distancing in this area of high footfall.

We are now proposing to: remove on street parking to create a bi-directional, segregated cycle route on Alcester Road and St Mary’s Row; upgrade the existing toucan crossing to a pelican; make adjustments to the footway along Alcester Road, including footway widening and a shared use footway.

We are now proposing the following changes:

  • Removing on street parking to create a bi-directional, segregated cycle route on the south bound (out of city) carriageway of Alcester Road and St Mary’s Row (from outside the Co-op to The Bull’s Head)
  • Upgrading the existing pelican crossing (outside Evergreen Chinese take-away) to a toucan crossing for use by pedestrians and cyclists
  • Creating a shared use footway for pedestrians and cyclists linking the upgraded toucan crossing to future cycle route on Chantry Road
  • Permanently widening the footway along the Alcester Road (outside of Cafephillia going south towards the Co-op)
  • Constructing footway and ramps at the King Edward Road/Alcester Road junction
  • Re-positioning bus stop (outside of Co-op) to accommodate cycle lane
  • Creating two disabled parking spaces on King Edward Road and two on St Mary’s Row
  • Creating a loading bay on King Edward Road

Please note that sections of the cycle lane will be suspended for the monthly Farmers Market.
