🌳 Exciting news for Cardiff! A lush, tree-lined boulevard is coming to the city centre, offering stunning views of City Hall and the National Museum. This new public square will be a vibrant hub for markets, performances, and gatherings, blending everyday convenience with cultural charm.
🔄 Transforming Kingsway, the boulevard will feature step-free crossings, wide footways, and dedicated cycle routes to promote walking and cycling. Say goodbye to the old subway and hello to seamless connections between the city and civic centres with new street-level crossings for improved safety and visibility.
🚴♂️ The plans are part of the broader Cardiff to Newport sustainable transport corridor, aimed at enhancing bus prioritisation and journey times. Phase one kicks off with a new cycleway stretching from Cardiff city centre to St Mellons, eventually linking up with existing routes, the Taff Trail, and beyond.
🚌 Aiming to prioritise sustainable travel, these improvements will boost connections to key transport hubs like Queen Street station and future developments at Cardiff East and Parkway stations.
👷♀️ The tender process for phase one is set to begin this summer, with construction starting in early 2027 and wrapping up by summer 2028. Public engagement has already influenced the design, and more feedback will shape future phases.
🌱 Councillor Dan De’Ath highlights this as a significant move towards sustainable travel options, supporting healthier lifestyles and tackling climate change by encouraging people to leave their cars at home. Stay tuned as Cardiff leaps into a greener, more connected future! 🌿 #CardiffTransformation #GreenCity #SustainableTravel
