Summary of scheme
Part of the Scholars Way Cycle Route, this scheme consists of improvements for walkers and cyclists between Combe Down and the University of Bath. It includes new ‘parallel’ zebra crossings on Woodland Place and Widcombe Hill at their junction with Copseland, to provide a quieter, safer and more convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists. Other sections of the Scholars Way route are currently in design and will come forward for consultation in the near future.
Scheme objectives
These are the aims of this scheme:
- Encouraging and enabling more journeys to be taken on foot and by bike

When are we consulting?
