The Black Paths Active Travel Signature Scheme - Public Engagement

Overview

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) is developing proposals for the The Black Paths Active Travel Signature Scheme, which will extend and upgrade the existing Black Paths network to create a continuous walking, wheeling and cycling link between Portadown and Lurgan Train Stations via Craigavon.

In particular, we would like to understand:

  • What works well today
  • What could be improved
  • Important parking and access requirements
  • opportunities for walking, wheeling and cycling
  • Traffic and safety concerns
