Stockport Interchange: Cycle and Pedestrian Ramp consultation – have your say
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and Stockport Council have unveiled proposals for a spiral ramp that will provide a unique way to connect Stockport’s new town centre park, located above the future new Stockport interchange, to the River Mersey.
You can have your say on the ramp during the public consultation which is open until Sunday 6 February 2022.
The 189-metre ramp will provide a seamless and accessible route to navigate the level change from the rooftop park to the river Mersey frontage, leading to the Trans Pennine Trail route.
This will form part of the Stockport Interchange Mixed Use development scheme, which is currently being progressed, and which also includes a new cycle and pedestrian link from Stockport rail station to the new park, as well as connecting the new facility to the wider Bee Network cycling and walking infrastructure, which is designed to encourage more people to make journeys on foot or by bike.
As well as the striking rooftop two-acre park, cycle and pedestrian link to the rail station and new interchange, the scheme will also include the development of 196 (126 two-bedroom, 70 one-bedroom) new, high-quality residential apartments off Daw Bank.
TfGM and Stockport Council want to hear from residents, businesses, and community organisations on what they think of the proposal to introduce the ramp. Visit the TfGM Stockport Interchange webpages for more information and to have your say on the plans.
Responses to the survey must be submitted by 23:59 on Sunday 6 February 2022. If you require the survey in an alternative format, please email stockport.interchange@tfgm.com or phone: 0161 244 1000
