Greener Grangetown (2)
Grangetown, Cardiff is a thriving urban community of almost 20,000 residents with a population density of almost twice the average of the city; it is one of the most diverse communities of any council ward in Wales. This unique scheme will be set within a project site that incorporates 12 streets that are all in the immediate vicinity of the River Taff. The project will create multiple green spaces, including 'rain gardens', within a design framework that will protect the natural, built and social environment through sustainable water management. A key component of the project will be the creation of a safer cycling and pedestrian route (endorsed by SUSTRANS) along Taff Embankment Street, a 500 metre stretch of the main carriageway where it is joined by the Taff Trail. The Taff Trail links the city centre to Cardiff Bay; it is part of National Cycle Network Route 8 and is a popular route for visitors whilst providing a means of sustainable transport for the local community.
