Scholars Way is an Active Travel route
comprising an eastern and western section, proposing to link the
University of Bath, Combe Down & St Martins School, via
Mulberry Park and a potential extension to Odd Down. Following
approval of the Budget and Council Tax 2024/25 report, this will
fully approve £2m, funded by revenue held in the CAZ
reinvestment reserve, focussed on delivery of the western section.
This includes road links with pedestrian and cycle crossings, new
parallel crossings, new toucan crossings for pedestrian and cycles
and new cycleways and shared footpaths.
