Essex County Council recommends new option is progressed following continued engagement with residents and businesses.
A new proposal to revamp Crouch Street West in Colchester, aimed at improving space for pedestrians and cyclists, is set to move forward following talks and meetings with residents and business owners.
The latest plans drawn up for Crouch Street West will create new designated cycle routes in both directions, resurface the existing road and pavements and see the creation of a new area of public space for pedestrians. The plans will retain plenty of car parking spaces in the street for those who are unable to visit the area without the use of a vehicle.

An update of the measures being introduced in Colchester under Active Travel 2 measures:
Vineyard Street car park: works almost completed to install a new two-way cycle track, footway and shared used area. Cyclists will benefit from additional cycle parking within the car park. They will also be able to cycle along the new segregated cycle link through the car park and continue on the existing cycleway to Vineyard Street. The existing retractable bollard remains, the other bollards will be replaced with cycle-friendly bollards with signs and the existing road markings at the car park entrance have been refreshed to suit the new layout.
20mph speed limits: new signage completed.
