Purpose of Report: The school
safety zone outside Bishopthorpe
Infants and Archbishop of York Junior School has been in place for
several years, with only a minor modification in 2009 outside the
Infants School. The school are keen to encourage more sustainable
journeys and have concerns about parking near crossing points, and
general driver behaviour. This report puts forward a package of
measures including new waiting restrictions, upgraded signing and
road markings plus minor footway improvements. It also summarises
the consultation with interested parties in order to recommend a
way forward.
The Cabinet Member is asked to approve the advertising of a traffic
regulation order to introduce waiting restrictions, and if there
are no objections raised, approve the implementation of the
scheme.
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the Cabinet Member:
(i) Approved the implementation of the proposed highway improvements, except for the waiting restrictions which require a traffic regulation order.
(ii) Approved the advertising of the associated traffic regulation orders. Any objections would be brought back to an Officer in Consultation meeting for a decision on the way forward.
REASONS: (I) To raise awareness of the existing 20mph speed limit and the presence of the schools, and to improve footways
(II) To progress a scheme which will discourage parking in areas where it may impede the operation of the school crossing patrol.
