• A stronger focus on widening the existing path and footpath

• Improved crossing facilities over the A815 to connect the coastal route and residential areas in Dunoon, Kirn and Hunters Quay

Councillor Peter Wallace, Depute Policy Lead for Roads and Infrastructure, said: "Thanks to everyone who gave invaluable feedback to the consultation last year. Our consultants have taken on board and addressed the issues raised with the new designs. We would be really grateful to hear your views. Your comment will help inform this project and make sure we are on the right track to action what communities are looking for with an active travel route."

This project is being funded through the Transport Scotland Places for Everyone programme which is a fund that can only be used for active travel projects that are intended to encourage and enable more people to walk, wheel and cycle for short everyday journeys.
