RBWM has completed improvements to make walking and cycling safer and more attractive for short journeys to and from Windsor town centre and Windsor Leisure Centre.

Work was undertaken to parts of Barry Avenue and Stovell Road, between the Royal Windsor Way underpass and the railway arches, as part of a drive to support sustainable travel options, healthy lifestyles and reduce the reliance on cars for short journeys.

The area is a popular route for residents to access the town and its surrounding facilities, and the improvements include:

• Widening footways and straightening up foot crossings, for improved pedestrian comfort and accessibility
• Slightly widening the cycle tracks under the railway arches, so they can be used by new larger bikes, such as adapted and cargo bikes
• Changing traffic priorities at two junctions and introducing raised ‘table’ features to slow traffic
• Introducing continuous footways over car park entrances.
