The proposals comprise:
The proposals will be integrated into the Transforming Ringway and Friargate North improvements, which have been designed to support cyclists and pedestrians between the University and the Harris Quarter.
Friargate South aims to provide a pedestrian priority public realm that matches work already carried out on Fishergate and Friargate North using complementary materials.
Improvements to the area include high quality paving, which differ in treatment and type. They will provide continuity with the Friargate North paving improvements.
There are several parts to the scheme:
- A shared pedestrian/cyclist/service vehicle zone paved with a warm, buff tone of natural granite ï¬nish and concrete Kellen paving, with a one way contra-flow cycle lane paved in a darker tone for visual demarcation
- A two-tone corduroy strip of paving to the edge of the shared-use central carriageway zone
- A feature paved area at the section where Friargate South connects with Orchard Street
- On Cheapside - A new contra flow cycle lane alongside the Flag Market with asphalt /chippings surface
- New street furniture to include cycle stands, litter bins / bollards, benches and seating blocks, street trees set within rain gardens/planted areas
