March 2026 Update
The build-outs on Glen Eyre Road were recently discussed at a meeting of the full council. Following that meeting, officers have commissioned a study that includes a safety review, compliance with design standards and using feedback from residents as well as on-site observations. A decision on the future of the traffic calming measures will be made once the study has concluded. Residents will be updated on these decisions prior to any work taking place. The study is expected to complete in late spring 2026.
Project Details
The project delivered a cycle quietway along Glen Eyre Road with a combination of cycle lanes, build-outs and raised tables linking existing shared sue facilities on Lovers Walk and Bassett Avenue . The busy footway between Lovers Walk and University Campus was also widened to better cater for peak footfall and a new pedestrian crossing was added at the junction with Burgess Road.
