Green Dragon Bridge - footway and cycling improvements June 2015 Public Consultaon Green Dragon Bridge is a footbridge which connects the north and east of the city, spanning from Water Street to Stourbridge Common. The bridge forms part of an aracve route for pedestrians and cyclists and has been used for decades by both. However, due to the narrow width of the bridge and restricted visibility on the approaches the current situaon is unsasfactory for all users and conflicts occur. City and County Council Officers along with local Councillors, local residents and cycling groups have met to discuss the issues and possible soluons which are to be financed by a jointly-funded cycleways City and County Council budget. Currently, the installaon of a new, wider bridge is not possible due to funding constraints. Alternave opons of erecng barriers on the approaches to the bridge to prevent cycling would deny access to mobility scooters and make it difficult, if not impossible for those in wheelchairs, with double pushchairs and wheeling bicycles, cargo bikes and trailers. However, we are proposing a number of changes to improve safety on the approaches to the bridge for all users. These are shown on the inside page, and there is a survey on the back page for you to feed back your comments to us.
