Dear Occupier
Proposed One Way Order, Cycle Lane Waiting Restrictions – Coppergate, York
It is proposed to make the temporary traffic order introduced in 2020 in Coppergate permanent. This was the introduction of a one way direction of travel (Piccadilly to Nessgate) order for vehicles, but excepting cycles, which can travel in both directions.
Therefore the pre June 2020 two way traffic flow in Coppergate has been revoked. The improvement in the overall ambience of the street has been well received by users and residents since the temporary order was introduced. This comprises general improvements in safety, noise, air quality and reduced congestion. There may be opportunities in the future to make more improvements to the visual quality of the street, but this would be subject to future decision making by councillors and available budget.
The scheme also includes the introduction of an exemption to the right hand turn into Coppergate from Clifford Street to allow pedal cycles to make that manoeuvre.
Should you require any further information in regard to this item then please contact the project manager, Gary Frost, telephone 07795 237879, email gary.frost@york.gov.uk
I do hope you are able to support the proposals but should you wish to object then please write, giving your grounds for objection, to the Director of Economy and Place at the address shown on the Notice of Proposals, to arrive no later than the date specified in the Notice.
Yours faithfully
