A WALKING and cycling route will link Woodley with Winnersh Triangle.
The first phase of the Bader Way project created a footpath and cycleway connecting east Woodley, Dinton Pastures and Loddon Bridge, providing an alternative to the busy road.
The second phase will directly link added between Winnersh Triangle and the first phase.
And the council is now looking to create additional routes to connect Winnersh Triangle business park and railway station.
There will also be a new signal crossing on the A3290 near Showcase Cinema, along with a wheelchair accessible replacement bridge.
Pauline Jorgensen, conservative candidate for Hillside ward, said: “Phase one of the Bader Way project was one of many examples of the council adopting the Government’s Gear Change standards on footpaths and cycleways.
“The second phase will see us going further in creating a sustainable transport network allowing walkers and cyclists to travel across our Borough without having to use roads full of cars.
“This is really exciting work, and I would urge everyone to go to the council’s website to share their views through our many consultations on walking and cycling infrastructure.”
The Liberal Democrat candidate for Hillside is Wes Budd and the Labour candidate is Hari Sarasan.
