Issue details
Somer Valley Links, Strategic Transport Corridor Project (WL)
The Somer Valley Links project covers travel between Midsomer Norton, Westfield and Radstock and Bath/Bristol along the A37, A362 and A367. It aims to develop better infrastructure to provide more options to travel sustainably – whether walking, wheeling (using a wheelchair or mobility scooter), cycling or using the bus.
The proposals aim to:
· Improve bus stops
· Extend bus lanes and improve junctions
· Create new cycling and walking routes
· Introduce mobility hubs – places where people can switch between different types of transport easily.
