About the Scheme
The work on Glen Eyre Quietway began Summer 2023 and has been implemented in several phases:
- Phase 1 (Burgess Road/Glen Eyre Road Junction) commenced on Monday 19th June for and completed prior to Phase 2.
- Phase 2 (Violet Road/Glen Eyre Road Junction) will commence Monday 31st July and completed prior to Phase 3.
- Phase 3 (Glen Eyre Road North) will commence Monday 16th October and will take approximately 7 weeks.
This scheme has been informed by a perceptions survey, where residents of Glen Eyre Road told us that they had safety concerns including the speed and volume of traffic.
Following these comments, we invited Glen Eyre residents to offer their thoughts on the suggested plans.
Results of the survey were greatly in favour of both traffic calming measures as well as improvements to cyclist and pedestrian facilities, with the full results viewable here.
