Dundee City Council's City Development Committee is to consider improvements proposed to a major city centre junction, which has been recommended for approval.

Mark Flynn committee convener said: "I'm delighted with this recommendation to enhance and extend the existing shared surface across Commercial Street into Murraygate, which will clearly define that this an area where pedestrians have priority.

"In addition, we want to make the carriageway of Commercial Street at the Murraygate junction a single lane with traffic going from Seagate towards Meadowside given priority.

"Taken together doing this work will help to deliver a safer and more accessible city centre, which will help to achieve one of the goals in the new City Centre Strategic Investment Plan."

Currently the city centre road network limits though traffic by designating certain streets as pedestrian and servicing only, and bus and/or taxi only.

If approved project design and implementation will get underway before the end of the financial year.
