Major upgrades to the Liverpool City Region’s busiest bus corridors to create ‘Green Bus Routes’ designed to improve journeys for the better could begin from this month.
The Combined Authority (CA) is seeking to invest £1.9m from its Transforming Cities Fund into Prescot Bus Station to not only improve bus services and the passenger experience but also support the nationally significant Shakespeare North Playhouse development.
The proposed measures, which would be delivered in partnership with Knowsley Borough Council, include public realm enhancements such as decorative streetlighting and trees as well as improving bus stops by adding tactile paving, dropped kerbs and ‘Visrail’ guardrails.
