The local authority has opened the second stage of consultation for a new walking and cycling route through neighbourhoods north and east of the city centre.
The city council said it has designed the new continuous route to serve as an active travel link between Ancoats, New Islington, New Cross, New Town, Red Bank, the Green Quarter and city centre.
The proposals, viewable in full online and open to consultation until Wednesday 17 March, will create new crossings to overcome local barriers for people travelling on foot and by bike, such as the River Irk, Ashton Canal and railway viaducts.
