PEOPLE are being reminded about an exhibition taking place this week about a new cycle route in Weymouth.
Dorset County Council will be discussing options for an improved route from Weymouth ferry port to Westham Bridge in Weymouth Library’s Mulberry Gallery from 1pm to 7pm tomorrow.
The planned improvements are part of a Cycle West project that aims to promote Dorset as a cycle tourism destination.
A provisional route taking cyclists from the ferry terminal to Westham Bridge has been in place since the summer but the council is now looking at options for a permanent route.
County councillor Mike Byatt said: “This route is an important link between the town centre and the wider local and national cycle network hub at Westham Bridge.”
The three options under consideration are formalising the current temporary route, creating a contraflow cycleway on Westham Road or reversing the one-way system on the upper end of Gloucester Street to route cyclists from the Esplanade to Commercial Road. Plans will go on show at Weymouth Library.
