Work is set to begin on widening the footpaths on a city centre Norwich road.
This £1m scheme in the historic street would widen the footpaths and narrow the carriageway.
Officers had been looking at making the street one-way and putting in a cycle contraflow, but a number of concerns were raised.
So they have scrapped that idea and focused on cutting vehicle speeds by narrowing the road and realigning the Rouen Road junction to further slow traffic.
Work will begin on the first phase of improvements on King Street to widen the footpath.

A man was cautioned by police after letting off fireworks close to Norwich City s stadium on Saturday - in one of very few incidents dealt with by police in the first week of eased lockdown measures.
Norfolk Police said a man in his 20s from the Attleborough area was arrested in Wherry Road, Norwich, shortly after 10pm on Saturday after a firework was set off in a public place.
He was taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre and later released from custody after being given a caution.
