\t\t\t\tCity centre transport strategy unveiled<\/p>\n

If you’ve got time to read it, you can send the council your feedback on the new transport strategy for the city centre<\/p>\n

By 2020 it is expected that an extra 50,000 people will be working in the city centre. Manchester City Council and GMPTE have been busy working out how we’re going to deal with that extra demand. They’ve just unveiled their draft city centre transport strategy \u0096 and they want to know what you make of it.<\/p>\n

Improvements to the public realm in places like St Peter\u0092s Square and Mosley Street are also part of the plans. <\/p>\n

The strategy sets out plans to boost the capacity and efficiency of public transport and improve facilities for cyclists and pedestrians. It also supports a number of the key schemes in the Greater Manchester Transport Fund \u0096 including the Cross City Bus package (which would enable bus services from Middleton, Salford and Parrs Wood to run across the city centre and along Oxford Road) and the proposed second Metrolink line across the city centre. Improvements to the public realm in places like St Peter\u0092s Square and Mosley Street are also part of the plans.<\/p>\n

Manchester City Council and GMPTE have put the draft strategy on their websites for your perusal. They’d like you to send them your feedback before 26 March 2010. <\/p>\n

The strategy is a 40-page document with no contents page to point you towards the sections you might be interested in \u0096 a cruel and unusual decision. But if you have a few spare evenings to fill, you’ll find it here .<\/p>\n

Send your comments on the strategy to: transport.consult@manchester.gov.uk<\/a> or write to Transport Strategy Consultation, Transport Policy Unit, Manchester City Council, Room 308, Town Hall, Manchester M60 2LA.<\/p>\n
