- Signposted routes where using road carriageway (all on-road routes deemed quiet routes);
- Dropped kerbs and improved highway crossing points;
- Opportunities for wayfinding and for place making such as benches, wildlife enhancements; features (note these elements of the scheme are likely to be delivered in a later phase).
