Proposed Narrow Cycle Lane Trial - Museum Street/Lendal Bridge & Gillygate
07/04/2010 - Proposed Narrow Cycle Lane Trials - Museum Street/Lendal Bridge and Gillygate
RESOLVED: That the Executive Member agrees:
i) On a trial basis, to implement the proposal for Gillygate shown at Annex B of the report;
ii) To provide direction signage on the Advanced Stop Line (ASLs) boxes on St Leonard’s Place and Museum Street;
iii) To defer consideration of any other changes to road markings on the Lendal Bridge corridor until the results of the trial of the use of narrow cycle lanes on Gillygate have been evaluated;
iv) That cycle margin carriageway maintenance work, for this corridor, be given a high priority.
REASON: Officers consider that these proposals will benefit cyclists, as they will improve the passage for cyclists on the nearside of queuing vehicles. The proposed measures would also contribute towards the aims of the Council as a Cycling City.
