Draft Proposals for the Worcester Transport Strategy
The proposed full Worcester Transport Strategy has been
developed to support the 'vision' for Worcestershire and deal with
existing and future transport challenges that contribute to
the long term future of the City of Worcester over the next 20
years.
Although the strategy addresses the issues faced by the
Worcester transport network and it's hinterland, it is important to
recognise that improvements will benefit anyone travelling into,
though and/or around the City of Worcester and also have an impact
on business decisions and the local and regional economy.
Bringing together the desired outcomes, issues and policy
guidance, we are aware that a wide-ranging package of transport
measures is required to deliver improvements to the existing
network, including the following measures:
- Strategic Highway Improvements including the construction of
the North West Link Road
- Local Highway Improvements including junction improvements
- Rail station enhancements
- The construction of a new Railway Station (Worcestershire
Parkway)
- Exploration of the feasibility of local railway
stations
- Enhancement of the City Centre's public realm, transport
infrastructure and services
- Improvements to infrastructure for walking and
cycling
- Key corridor improvements to enhance the transport
infrastructure for the local bus network, cyclists, pedestrians and
general traffic
- Construction of further Park & Ride sites
- Incentivise greater use and improvement to the
perception of sustainable modes (walking, cycling, passenger
transport)
- Implementation of intelligent transport systems to improve
efficiency and choice
