The proposal
Widen the pavement where possible to provide a clear, continuous path of at least 1.5 metres. Relocate street furniture and other obstacles, repair uneven surfaces, and install accessible dropped kerbs at crossings.
Where widening is not possible, consider redesigning the street layout to create a safe, step-free pedestrian route. All improvements should be tested with wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility.
