In Eirias Park, there are a number of routes that link the stadium, leisure centre, schools, and North Wales Police headquarters. By making these routes easier for people to use, there is an opportunity to create a route from Old Colwyn that is mostly free of traffic. This way, people can avoid the busy A547 route.
Key issues
- Some existing paths are too narrow in places for both pedestrians and cyclists.
- Walking and cycling links between Abergele Road and the leisure centre could be improved.
- The leisure centre car park is not convenient to walk and cycle through and would benefit from a dedicated route.
Proposals
- Upgrade shared paths in the park by making them wider and resurface them as needed.
- Introduce a new shared use path alongside the Eirias Park football pitch.
- Widen and resurface the pavements along Eirias Road for improved connectivity between Abergele Road and Eirias High School.
- Improve street lighting along the routes where required.
- Add new wayfinding signs to make it easier for people to find their way to the key local attractions.
- Improve the leisure centre car park and surrounding area to allow for better access to and from the leisure centre.
