New planting, landscaping and sustainable drainage to mitigate flood risk have been implemented to help make the city more resilient to climatic pressures.
South Yorkshire’s active travel commissioner Ed Clancy OBE said: “New walking, wheeling and cycling projects are happening right across South Yorkshire – creating better places and more opportunities for us all to move more and move differently.
“The West Bar scheme demonstrates Sheffield Council’s ambition and commitment to being at the forefront of design that gives people more freedom and choice about getting around.”
