Decision details

Purpose of Report: To present an update on the progress of the Active Travel Programme and to obtain a decision relating to key projects that are ready to proceed to the next stage.

The Executive Member will be asked to:

·        Note the status of the Active Travel Programme.

·        Approve the progress of key projects presented within the report.

Resolved:

                      i.         Approved Option 1 – Approve the proposed St Georges Field Crossing scheme and scheme delivery arrangements described within this report and presented in Annex A of this document.

Reason:     This option achieves the scheme objectives and is affordable within assigned budgets. Timing of the installation will be co-ordinated with the Castle Gateway development. Traffic is predicted to not be

significantly impacted, and the single-stage element of the crossing makes transition from pedestrian crossing to ’Toucan’ crossing achievable.

Resolved:

                     ii.         Approved Option 2 – Approve the proposed Skeldergate scheme and scheme delivery arrangements described within this report and presented in Annex E of this document.

Reason:     This option achieves the core aim of the scheme, which is to “improve safety, amenity and accessibility for cyclists on the routealong Skeldergate, and to reduce and/or remove conflict at buildouts”.
