Bolton Council is asking people for their views on two new schemes aimed at making walking, cycling and driving safer and easier for all road users.
One proposed scheme focuses on the area around the town centre, Queens Park and Halliwell.
The other centres in and around Heaton and Doffcocker.
Both schemes are looking to provide people with better travel options within the local neighbourhood and into the town centre, especially for more vulnerable road users like children, older people and people with disabilities.
And both would connect to and build on improvements that the council already plans to deliver this year.
Safety is major consideration in the proposals, which support work across Greater Manchester to significantly reduce the number of road accidents.
Among the improvements being considered are new and better pedestrian crossings, traffic islands to make it safer to cross the road, and raised sections of roads with white arrows to make them more visible for drivers.
Measures to improve accessibility could include tactile paving, as well as kerbs dropped to street level to make it easier for people with mobility scooters, wheelchairs or prams.
Uninterrupted footways at road crossings would aim to prioritise pedestrians, reduce traffic speeds and improve accessibility.
Where needed, new or improved cycleways would aim to make it safer for people to travel on bikes.
Although densely populated, walking and cycling opportunities are currently poor between Doffcocker and the town centre.
Streets can feel dominated by fast-moving traffic, making people on foot or on bikes feel unsafe.
The first phase of improvement works in Doffcocker was consulted on back in 2021 and is set to be delivered this year, subject to final approval of funding.
Meanwhile, construction is due to begin this year on the first phase of improvements between Queens Park, Halliwell and the town centre.
If agreed, the new proposals for both areas would form a second phase of further improvements.
A spokesperson for Bolton Council said:
“It’s vital that we modernise and improve our roads so that people can get around easily, quickly and safely.
“We are very grateful to everyone who contributed to the consultation on the first phase of improvement works and we encourage people to have their say on this new set of proposals.”
The consultation runs from Monday, March 2 to Friday, March 27.
