Roath Park Cycle Route (Phase 1) – Roath Recreation Ground improvements
We are developing a new cycle route from the city centre to the Roath Park area.
The route will provide key benefits such as:
- promoting sustainable and active travel to school,
- employment, and
- connections to public transport.
The route will connect to other cycle routes in the future.
Phase 1 will provide a new segregated cycleway and upgraded footpaths in Roath Recreation Ground between the junction of Wellfield Road and Alder Road.
The scheme also includes:
- Improvements to the junction of Wellfield Road, Marlborough Road, Penylan Road, and Ninian Road by upgrading crossing points, a cycle crossing and changes to the signal phasing.
- Replacing the priority narrowings on Ty Draw Road with 4 ramped pedestrian crossing points.
- Improvements to bus stops and a new northbound bus stop on Ninian Road.
- Changes the Penylan Community Centre car park to make space for the cycleway.
- Improving the zebra crossing at the Pen-y-Wain Road junction and shared footway for pedestrians and cyclists towards Roath Park Primary School.
- Upgrading the footpath around the playing field and gym equipment.
- Changes to the zebra crossing at the Alder Road junction and stop through traffic on Alder Road.

The work will start in late February 2024.
