A major overhaul of a popular city centre square will include a two-way cycle lane running through its heart, the council has confirmed.
Work to make Stevenson Square, in the Northern Quarter, more ‘pedestrian and cyclist friendly’ will start next month, council chiefs have announced today (May 25). The project will include a range of changes to the public space, three-quarters of which was permanently pedestrianised last year.
The work is ‘a long-held ambition’ of Manchester city council, according to the Executive Member for Environment and Transport. Coun Tracey Rawlins, who also said the project will make the area more accessible.
