Morecambe locals, have you spotted the charming new addition near Morrisons? The Bay Rose road crossing at Hillmore Way is now adorned with delightful images of native flowers, including a wild rose. This floral touch not only brightens up the area but also marks the famous Way Of The Roses cycle path, adding a dash of local heritage to your daily commute.
This enhancement is part of a broader initiative to revamp the area, making it more pedestrian and cycle-friendly. The previous road markings had become worn and, in some places, barely visible. The new crossing aims to improve safety and accessibility for both cyclists and pedestrians, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable journey for everyone.
The choice of native flowers is a nod to Morecambe’s natural beauty and biodiversity, reminding us of the vibrant flora that surrounds us. This thoughtful design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the crossing but also reinforces the community’s connection to its natural environment.
For those who enjoy cycling, the Bay Rose crossing is a welcoming gesture, celebrating the popular Way Of The Roses route. It’s a reminder of the scenic paths and trails that make Morecambe a delightful place to explore on two wheels.
At Lancastrian Estates, we believe in celebrating local initiatives that enhance the community’s quality of life. The Bay Rose crossing is a perfect example of how thoughtful urban planning can make a difference. Whether you’re a cyclist, pedestrian, or driver, this new crossing is sure to brighten your day.
