3 Phase 1 completed projects
Haslett Avenue signal upgrade
In March 2018 we upgraded the traffic signals and added a new crossing that residents had requested. The upgrade improved links with other junctions in the area, which now work together more efficiently and allow traffic to flow through the region in a way that wasn’t possible before.
Real-time passenger information installation
Find out about our electronic displays at bus stops, which provide real‑time updates so you can see how your bus is running.
Worth Park Avenue improvements
From 2013 to 2016 we developed the Worth Park Avenue cycle improvements scheme. It delivered 1.7km of shared cycleway and footway from Ridley’s Corner in the east to Three Bridges rail station in the west. We delivered the scheme alongside traffic signal upgrades and resurfacing works on Haslett Avenue.
