As Tramlines returns to Hillsborough Park and the Fringe at Tramlines takes over the city centre, Sheffield is gearing up for the biggest weekend on the city’s calendar.
Plans to transform how people get to and from the city centre from Attercliffe and Darnall has been given a funding boost following the allocation of £23.68m from South Yorkshire’s Mayor.
The creation of more people-friendly, prosperous streets in Sheffield city centre is due to get underway, helping to bring in a more open, attractive and spacious area for people to relax, enjoy and spend time in.
Feedback from members of the public and business across the vitally important A61 Chesterfield Road route has led to two of four aspects of the project to be removed.
Simple, affordable fares, reliable bus journeys, easy and safe routes to walk or wheel to schools, shops, and local facilities, and tackling congestion are just some of items that form Sheffield’s Transport Vision for the next two decades.
Ambitious plans have been unveiled after residents and businesses in the city centre called for improvements to public transport and park and ride, as well as better walking, wheeling and cycling options to help people get around more easily and safely.
The A57 Snake Pass, one of the most important routes linking Sheffield and Manchester, is set to receieve £7.6million funding for road safety improvements.
