Norfolk County Council are proposing to improve Riverside Road for pedestrians by widening and extending the pavement that runs along the opposite side of the road to the water. The project starts at the junction of Riverside Road with Quay Road/Pier Walk and runs northwards towards Williamson’s Lookout. This section is about 1.2km long and plans include widening the footway to a minimum of around 1.5m throughout this length. Dropped kerbs will be installed where vehicle access is required. There are three main elements to the proposals:
- Resurfacing and widening the existing footway and replacing the kerbs in the following sections:
- 95m between Riverside Road/Pier Walk/Quay Road junction and the RNLI parking triangle
- 130m between Kingfisher Amateur Boxing Club and Dock Tavern Lane
- 220m between 92 Riverside Road and the steps past South Icehouse Hill, which lead up to the High Street
- Installing a new footway where no footway currently exists:
- 220m between the RNLI parking triangle and Kingfisher Amateur Boxing Club
- Introducing two short lengths of double yellow lines to help traffic flow. The PDF plan showing the location is below.
