More measures are being taken to reduce the amount of cars on Deansgate, the council has announced. It’s part of a push to have nine in ten city centre journeys car-free by 2040.
The new rules are ‘interim’, the authority has said, replacing the ‘temporary’ scheme on the thoroughfare which has been in place since the start of the pandemic. The council says support for reducing cars remains strong, and is keen to capitalise on this.
Part of the scheme will see the removal of the high-vis 'wands’, which have marked out cycling paths, to be replaced with more permanent infrastructure. Other measures are designed to keep access open to public transport.
