Scholars Way Active Travel project (WL)

 

 

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 Clean Air Zone (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.
