Decision details

Speed Management Engineering Programme 2015/16- Progress Update

Decision Maker: Decision Session - Executive Member for Transport - Expired, Executive Member for Transport and Planning

Decision status: Decision Made

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Purpose of Report: To seek approval to proceed with schemes at sites where an amended design would overcome objections or where adverse feedback is not considered to be significant. Where this is not possible further feasibility work is recommended.

The Executive Member is asked to approve the proposed speed management schemes and authorise officers to undertake the advertisement of speed limit orders as necessary, and to implement the proposals if no objections are received. Any measures which receive objections would be reported back to the Executive Member for a decision at the next opportunity.

 

This report has been slipped as this decision would be made during the Purdah period.  Speed management can be controversial and may potentially become an issue that candidates for the Police and Crime Commissioner would wish to talk about. It will now be considered at the Executive Member for Transport and Planning Decision Session on 12 May 2016.

 

Decision:

Resolved: That;

 

                   Option (i) be approved;

 

·        The Chaloners Road Scheme be omitted from the speed management programme.

·        The deferral of Danebury Drive, Acomb to the 16/17 speed management programme.

·        The introduction of a new VAS on York Road, Strensall and the inclusion of investigatory work into crossing points on York Road including consideration of a zebra crossing close to Barley Rise.

·        Note the five schemes which are being progressed under officer delegations as no objections were received.

·        That the implementation of schemes, shown in Annexes B, C, F and G of the Officer’s report be approved.

·        That the advertising of speed limit orders to progress the proposals shown in Annexes A, D and E with implementation to follow if no substantive objections are received be approved. Any measures which receive objections would be reported back to the Executive Member for a final decision.

 

Reason: To deliver changes to the highway network with the aim of reducing vehicle speeds and reducing the likelihood and consequences of collisions for all road users.
