Weston to Bath city centre

The route begins on High Street in Weston and goes along Weston Park before joining Weston Road. It then goes through Royal Victoria Park and down Royal Avenue to reach Queen Square.

The proposals include new sections of cycle lanes along quiet streets and segregated cycle tracks. Stakeholder feedback has indicated parking at Royal Victoria Park is not at full capacity.

The route will be built in stages, starting with improvements to Royal Victoria Park.

Expand the sections below to find out more about the improvements we are proposing.

Weston Road/Park Lane

We are proposing the following for Weston Road:

• Alter the mini roundabout at the junction of Weston Road and Park Lane to give more space for walking, wheeling and cycling, and to slow traffic down to make it safer.
• Create a new zebra crossing over Park Lane.

Royal Victoria Park

We are proposing the following for Royal Victoria Park:

• Create a new cycle route out of Royal Victoria Park at Park Lane, against the flow of traffic. This is known as a contraflow.
• Create four new raised table crossings over the park access road.
• Using the Park Lane access road, heading south-east towards the city centre, the cycle route would join a segregated cycle track, against the flow of traffic.
• Create a new 600m contraflow cycle lane from the northwest corner of the park to the southwest corner.
• New bat-friendly heritage lighting on route.
• Resurfacing to improve the footway along the route.

Royal Victoria Park to Queen Square

We are proposing the following for Royal Victoria Park to Queen Square:

From the Victoria Obelisk the cycle route would cross Marlborough Lane and follow Royal Avenue and the quietway on Queen’s Parade. Improvements to street lighting are the only proposed change here.
