Issue - decisions

Resolved:

(i)      That Option 4 be approved, to take forward  an Experimental traffic regulation order for up to 18 months to create a pedestrian zone except for access and pedal cycles 8am to 6pm, 7 days a week and to reverse the direction of the one way traffic flow.

Reason:  Because there is a good level of support indicated from the consultation and an Experimental scheme enables the council to respond rapidly to any unexpected issues that might arise during the experiment period; and

(ii)      That Option 7 be approved, to give delegated authority to  officers to:

(a)         determine where street cafes can be positioned between the hours of 11am and 5pm.

(b)         advertise a proposal to amend the York Parking Stopping and Waiting Traffic Order 2014 to include a no loading restriction for 10-15 metres at the Pavement end of Fossgate.

Reason: To further enhances the pedestrian priority in the street and provide good flexibility within the experimental period.
