Moor Street Gateway
The Moor Street Gateway scheme aims to create a new entrance and welcome into Birmingham for the city’s residents and visitors and link the existing New Street and Moor Street stations with the new Curzon Street Station (for HS2).
The project will create clearer routes for people walking, cycling and wheeling (referring to those travelling using wheelchairs and other wheeled aids such as mobility scooters and pushchairs). It also aims to improve spaces to catch bus and Metro services as well as adding plants and trees to the area.
The arrival of HS2 will be an exciting addition to this part of Birmingham. We aim to create a ‘One Station’ identity where travellers can easily change between national and local rail services and access local bus and Metro services.
An overview plan for this scheme can be seen below. Please note this plan is not accessible with screen readers. If you would like an officer to explain the contents of the plan to you, email connected@birmingham.gov.uk.
Aims of the scheme
The aims of the Moor Street Gateway scheme are summarised below:
- Create a recognisable ‘One Station’ identity, an inclusive place which is safe, bright and attractive to travel through and spend time in.
- Provide a welcoming arrival into Birmingham as a City of Nature, with enhanced trees, plants and other greenery.
- Improve signs, information and connections so people can navigate the area more easily.
- Widen footways to enhance walking and wheeling routes and remove unnecessary barriers to movement and improve connections between stations.
- Deliver a safe cycle connection through the city centre between the existing cycle routes.
- Improve the bus passenger experience when arriving and waiting for services.
- Maintain bus services and service vehicle access.
