The Station Gateway Phase 1A – Public Realm will deliver new and enhanced public realm and highway improvement outside Scarborough train station to create a welcoming arrival and civic space as well as supporting the town’s climate and environmental objectives.
Phase 1A – Public Realm includes the following elements:
- new pedestrian crossings, new traffic signals, removal of traffic islands and hatchings, decluttering on Westborough / Valley Bridge Road junction
- tree planting and footpath resurfacing on Valley Bridge Road
- highway lane narrowing, traffic calming, wider footpath, table crossing, and seating on Westborough Road
Phase 1A – Public Realm forms part of a wider vision for the revitalisation of Scarborough. This initial phase, to be funded through the Towns Fund monies allocation of £6.68m will act as a catalyst for regeneration of the Station Gateway area through the attraction of additional public and private investment. Work on the project is expected to start at the beginning of 2025.
