## Resource

Liverpool’s pouring £12 million into a major upgrade of Vauxhall Road and Commercial Road—over 2km of safer, smoother travel for walkers, cyclists, and drivers. New bike lanes, repaired sidewalks, and smarter crosswalks at busy intersections like Leeds Street and Sandhills Lane are all part of the plan to slash accidents and boost mobility. Local residents overwhelmingly backed the initial proposal—with 81% in favor—and feedback helped shape the final design. Backed by Active Travel England and pending city cabinet approval next week, construction could start this fall, advancing Liverpool’s broader goal of building a connected, walkable, and bike-friendly city region.
