## Resource

Manchester is set to pour up to £4.5 million into a major overhaul of Oldham Road — a key artery into the city centre plagued by accidents and congestion. The redesign will prioritize buses, cyclists, and pedestrians with extended lanes, protected bike paths, and safer crossings, all part of a broader £11 million transport upgrade. With the city expecting 100,000 more residents in the next decade, this investment is critical to support active travel, ease pressure on public transport, and future-proof the streetscape — making movement safer, smoother, and more sustainable for everyone.
