Working with local residents and stakeholder groups, the design consultants proposed the public realm works in conjunction with new traffic and road layouts to reverse the surface use from 35 per cent pavement and 65 per cent road, to 65 per cent pavement and 35 per cent road, effectively giving it over to pedestrians. The most transformative change was the replacement of a fast gyratory around a cluster of bus stands with a new public space connecting to businesses and pedestrian walkways, while retaining an efficient bus service. To encourage walking and cycling in the area, new cycle paths and parking were introduced. Pavements have been widened, trees planted and seating added to create a pleasant environment to walk and pedal through while retaining loading facilities for local businesses. ‘Copenhagen crossings’, which extend the pavement surface across the road, feature along the high street. These prioritise pedestrians, improve streetscape legibility and maintain traffic through flow.
