New plans could see buses travelling in both directions through Market Gates in Great Yarmouth.
The project would see new bus stops and crossing points created as well as a number of changes to current highway arrangements across neighbouring streets.
Norfolk County Council is asking residents for their views on the proposals by completing an online survey at www.norfolk.gov.uk/marketgates.
Due to the size of the area covered by the proposals a number of large scale plans are also available to view with hard copies to take away if required from any of the following locations:
Market Gates Shopping Centre
Great Yarmouth Town Hall
Kingsgate Centre, Queen Anne’s Road
Shrublands Community Café, Magdalen Way, Gorleston
Great Yarmouth, Gorleston or Caister Library

Councillor Graham Plant, cabinet member for highways, infrastructure and transport, said: “Through our Bus Service Improvement Plan we’re committed to improving bus services and sustainable transport facilities across the county."
He said the proposal represents "another major investment" in Great Yarmouth which seeks to build on "the fantastic progress" already made with the low fare cap and a number of new and enhanced bus services introduced across the region.
“Herring Bridge has already made a massive difference to traffic flows around the town and these proposals seek to capitalise on this shift to ensure our bus infrastructure is fit for purpose to support the future growth of the region with all of the wider investments currently being made," he added.
