Next steps
The Second City Crossing public consultation has closed.
Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) will report the results of the public consultation to Transport for Greater Manchester Committee (TfGMC) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and will seek formal approval to make an application for a Transport and Works Act Order. The Transport and Works Act Order will provide the powers needed to build and operate the Second City Crossing.
The results of the consultation will also be reported back to Manchester City Council Executive. At the same time, work will proceed to develop a detailed design for re-locating the Cenotaph to ensure that this is addressed as part of developing designs for St Peter's Square. It is intended that comprehensive proposals will be produced for consideration by MCC Executive in the summer.
Following a period of tendering, construction of the 2CC scheme is likely to commence in 2013 and the new Metrolink Second City Crossing extension is planned to be in service late in 2016.
