The HUGE new Stockport landmark that's about more than looking funky
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 '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.
The overall aim, bosses say, is to 'connect every community across Greater Manchester and make walking and cycling a real alternative to the car'.Mayor Mr Burnham said: "The scale of our ambition in transforming how people get around is huge - with a target for one million extra journeys being made on public transport or by bike or foot every day by 2040.
