It is claimed that a central park and walkway will be created alongside the rising tower blocks.
However, it is not just Everton who are expected to benefit from this, with the local tourism industry also expected to gain a boost as a result.
Liverpool Council is working to improve Everton’s transport links having shared their methods to improve the efficiency of fans getting away from games.
Bigger improvements will likely be in the long-term picture on Merseyside, but not all fans are going to benefit from the short-term plans suggested.
Everton supporters need improved stadium transport links
A number of TalkingPoints users have shared some of their struggles when it comes to attending games at the new ground.
The walk from the city centre is simply not possible for some of the club’s elderly and disabled supporters.
Although the weather may be improving as summer nears, these changes along the North Shore are not going to do much for a significant number of the fanbase.
As good as the Hill Dickinson Stadium may be, the club must be aware they risk pushing away some of their loyal supporters, who simply cannot access the state-of-the-art new ground.
