Moseley local centre public consultation
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.
