A HUGE, funky spiral ramp; ‘Yellow Brick Road’ improvements and the next step in giving an iconic street a mammoth cycling makeover are among the Greater Manchester transport plans bosses are pumping cash into.
They want to make cycling and walking across the region easier, safer - and a REAL alternative to getting behind the wheel.
A whopping £40m has been set aside for the next elements of a host of projects - made up of £23.7m from the government and £17m from our pots.
It could eventually mean we have the biggest cycling and walking ‘network’ in the UK.
A ‘helix ramp’ - 180m in length - will link a new rooftop park to the River Mersey and the TransPennine trail in Stockport.
It will be a striking feature of the ever-changing landscape of Stockport town centre, but bosses say it’s about more than that.
It will make it easier for people to get around - including to the huge new bus station being built in the heart of the borough.
That £135m development is well underway as part of a mammoth, £1bn transformation of Stockport.
