Members of the public will be able to have their say on the multi-million pound revamp of transport in Liverpool city centre from today.
Eight major projects worth a combined £45 million is set to transform how commuters move around the local area by foot, bike, car, coach and bus.
They will include the major extension of St George’s Plateau on Lime Street and halving the number of traffic lanes on The Strand from eight to four.
Other plans are set to see Queens Square bus station repositioned for all northbound traffic routes and Paradise Street for all southbound journeys.
As part of the process, Liverpool City Council are launching four consecutive roadshow events to gauge feedback from pedestrians and motorists alike.
Starting at Central Library’s Ground Floor Atrium between 10am and 6pm today, council bosses will also be holding further consultations this week.
They include outside Lloyds Bank on Church Street tomorrow (Wednesday, October 12) between 10.30am and 6.30pm, the Glass Atrium on Mann Island during the same hours on Thursday, and Lime Street Station between 7.30am and 6pm on Friday.
Commuters can also fill out an online survey, which runs until November 6, with over 250 people taking part since it was launched last Thursday.
Councillor Malcolm Kennedy, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: “Our city centre welcome needs a major upgrade to the standard befitting a world class city.
“With a growing residential population, a huge rise in visitors and £10bn of major developments in the pipeline, how we navigate around it needs a radical rethink in key locations and some major improvements.
“Each of these projects will open up a new world of possibilities to further accelerate the future growth of Liverpool and the wider city region.
“This scheme will make a huge difference to how everyone will moves around the city centre which is why we want to hear as many views as possible, be they pedestrians, cyclists or motorists.”
