A SERIES of paths designed to keep cyclists safe could be coming to Barrow as part of new proposals. Cumbria County Council has launched a consultation asking for people’s feedback to help shape the plans, which aim to improve the infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians. The town- alongside Kendal and Carlisle- is one of the first to undergo consultation for the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans. In Barrow, proposals include segregated cycleways, pedestrian crossings and junction improvements for both cyclists and pedestrians on Bridge Road and Michaelson Road, which would be funded by £886,000 grant from the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund.
