Magdalen Road residents faced road closures
January 13, 2023 - Months of phased road closures and traffic restrictions were set to begin in an area of Exeter in a bid to turn a temporary Covid cycle and walk route permanent.
During the pandemic Magdalen Road, in the St Leonards area of the city, was closed to two-way traffic, in favour of pedestrians and cyclists.
After a public consultation ruled to keep the restrictions, Devon County Council (DCC) has announced Magdalen Road, Denmark Road, Wonford Road and College Road would be restricted to traffic or closed in phases to make the layout permanent.
DCC said the temporary layout, imposed by the council in June 2020, had encouraged cycling and walking – and ‘strengthened the unique village atmosphere’.
St Leonards residents were promised a wider pavement, permanent one-way road layout for vehicles – two-way for bikes – and extra parking for bicycles.
