| Briefly Sustrans plans for Kenilworth are; | ||
|
The local Kenilworth Connect2 project developed from an existing local initiative to develop further the disused Kenilworth-Berkswell railway line as a leisure route. The ‘Friends of Kenilworth Greenway’ group has been in existence for several years, involving local councillors, residents and local footpath groups. Parts of the leisure route are already accessible and are popular with local walkers and horse riders, although difficult at times in wet or icy weather. The County Council has already completed some improvements to to the route during year ending 2008. |
||
| The Connect2 project will provide additional funding to complete the upgrade of the existing route, and to extend it right into Kenilworth to link with existing pedestrian/cycling routes. It will also extend a new link across the fields to the University of Warwick's campus. | ||
|
A key feature would be a safe crossing of the busy A429 Coventry Road for pedestrians and cyclists. A new bridge over the Coventry Road is envisaged, in the place where the old railway bridge existed until the 1960’s.
