Road alterations to make socially-distanced walking and cycling in Swindon more appealing are due to begin next month.
The work is intended to promote safe exercise
The borough council has announced that it has been awarded £200,000 by the Government to make the necessary changes.
The cash is drawn from Whitehall's Emergency Active Travel Fund.
Locations earmarked for the temporary measures are Station Road, Farnsby Street/Commercial Road, Crombey Street, Faringdon Road between Holbrook Way/Fleet Street and Farnsby Street, Marlborough Road, the Old Town Railway Path and Kingsdown Lane.
The council has also revealed that it is exploring how to use a further £770,000 to improve walking and cycling, subject to Government confirmation of that grant award.
