Plans are on display at Ely library showing three schemes that the county council hope will improve both cycling and walking routes around the city.
The council has set aside money for the three schemes and, following a public consultation, hope to complete the three jobs in the spring.
If you would like to comment on any of the plans please contact Cambridgeshire County Council by either email: local.projects@cambridgeshire.gov.uk or telephone: 0345 045 5212 by January 20.
