We are proposing a new Toucan (signal-controlled, pedestrian and cyclist) Crossing on Broadstone Road, Reddish between Briarfield Road and Keswick Road. The crossing aims to support sustainable travel choices and improve safety of pedestrians and cyclists crossing Broadstone Road.
The proposed scheme would be paid for by the Government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) and Transforming Cities Funding. These are national investment funds to improve local transport networks, access for local businesses and organisations, and to help residents get to amenities in their communities.
An element of the fund is allocated to ‘Bus Pinch Point’ schemes. These are schemes that aim to reduce bus travel time and improve safety for bus users.
The scheme for Broadstone Road comprises the following proposals:
We would like to hear your views on the proposals, and specifically to what extent you agree or disagree with them.
Please view the proposals and provide your feedback via the link at the bottom of this page. The consultation is running until 12th February.
All responses to this consultation will be considered as part of the scheme development process prior to any implementation. Due to the anticipated volume of responses, please be aware we will not be able to enter detailed correspondence with individuals about points raised.
Delivery of the scheme is subject to approval and funding being agreed by the Government’s City Regional Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) scheme. If approved and awarded funding, the scheme would be delivered in phases from later this year.
