Plans to build a two-way cycle lane and remove some on-street parking in Sunderland have been unveiled.
The council has proposed to build a dedicated “scenic” route between Dame Dorothy Street and Roker seafront.
If the plans are approved work will start later this year and be finished by spring 2024.
Sunderland City Council said the new route would help cut congestion and reduce the risk of accidents for cyclists.
Proposals show the cycle lane would link the promenade with the marina, St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s University campus and the city centre.
