Hertfordshire Highways is proposing to implement pedestrian improvements on Villiers-sur-Marne Avenue, Bishop's Stortford. The works on Villiers-sur-Marne Avenue will include:

• Street lighting to be upgraded along the entire stretch. New lighting columns and signs to be installed at the rear of the footways to maximise the effective footway widths;   
• New footways to be installed, where possible, to link existing footways, junctions or to provide new footway links;
• Minor adjustments to be made to the existing School Crossing Patrol site including a small area of resurfacing, the refreshing of road markings and the re-setting of the bollards;
• New or upgraded uncontrolled crossing points across junctions to be installed to meet current standards;
• New or upgraded uncontrolled crossing points across Villiers-sur-Marne Avenue, using existing pinch points or traffic chicanes where possible, to minimize the width of road pedestrians are required to cross, to be installed to meet current standards;
• Vegetation trimming / removal, and signing works to be undertaken where necessary;
• All existing footways to be sided out to obtain the maximum available footway widths. 

The works will be installed in phases. The lighting upgrade is planned to be implemented early 2010, with the other works to follow later in 2010 if funding allows.
