Consultations are initially taking place for Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle and Kendal.
The plans will allow the county council, working with Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership and Cumbria’s six district councils, to identify and deliver improved cycling and walking provision for local areas.
In Barrow, proposals include:
Segregated cycleways, pedestrian crossings and junction improvements for both cyclists and pedestrians on Bridge Road and Michaelson Road. These improvements would be funded by £886,000 grant from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund.
