Eco Expressway/ Eastern Cycle Corridor

Eco Expressway and the Eastern Cycle Corridor both run along the same Southern Growth Corridor route, due to this and the proximity of works for each project it has been decided that a joint consultation will be run to gauge peoples views on both the cycling and bus improvements along the route.


Consultation began on the 26th May and will run until the 24th June 2016. To have you say on these proposals visit the interactive consultation map on the Cycle City website.
