The two-way route was first suggested almost four years ago as part of a bid by Preston City Council for cash from the government's Levelling Up Fund.

The ultimately successful pitch proposed creating a 700-metre facility-segregated from both vehicles and pedestrians-on the southern side of Queen Street and Avenham Lane, within what is currently a grass verge.
