Safer travel for Barton, Grantchester and Cambridge.
Safer walking, wheeling and cycling between Cambridge and the western villages of Barton and Grantchester.
The greenway will see improvements made to well used paths by local school children who commute to and from Barton primary school.
It will provide better connections to local places such as Burwash Manor and provide a link to the Comberton Greenway.
We will also be providing landscaping and planting within the village to compliment the local environment.
Where we are
Planning applications to aid the construction of the off-line sections of the greenway for raised crossings and a 20mph speed limit to make travelling safer for everyone – especially school children heading to Barton Primary School – are being submitted.
Work to upgrade and widen the existing path along Barton Road between the edge of the City and Haggis Farm roundabout is also set to begin in the spring.
Barton village improvements
We’re proposing some important safety improvements in the village. The plans include the following:
- Installation of a raised table at the junction of New Road and Kings Grove
- A raised table on Comberton Road
- Speed cushions throughout New Road and Comberton Road
- Installation of a zebra crossing on New Road
- Installation of raised table junctions at Kings Grove, School Lane and High Street
- A new 20mph speed limit throughout the village.
