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: The report will outline option(s) to create an off-road shared use pedestrian/cycle path alongside the A1237 Outer Ring Road between Haxby Road and Wigginton Road. The report will include Officer comments on various technical, safety and financial considerations in relation to the proposals, with the purpose of deciding which option(s) should be taken forward.

Cabinet Member is asked to make a decision on which option(s) should be approved in principle, and form the basis of a wider public consultation, and authorise any necessary Traffic Regulation Orders linked to the scheme proposals.

 

The report will now be taken to the Cabinet Member in March to allow further development of the options and clarification of the proposed recommendations before progressing for a Cabinet Member decision.

 

This reason this item has been withdrawn is to allow further detailed investigatory work and negotiations with third parties before any reports can come forward for a decision.

Decision:

Resolved:           That the Cabinet Member:

 

(i)    approved the overall scheme layout, including the changes and additional measures proposed within this report (i.e. as per Option 2 in paragraph 45,  and as illustrated in Annexes A,C,D, E, F & G.

 

(ii)   Agreed in principal the Toucan Crossing and PROW diversion as illustrated at Annexes B & H but deferred a final decision to enable further investigative work.

 

(iii)  gave authorisation for all elements of the scheme to be implemented as soon as practically possible, which in some cases may need to be after associated Traffic Regulation Orders are put in place,

 

(iv) gave authorisation for the advertisement of the necessary Traffic Regulation Orders relating to the following:

 

·          an extension to the existing 20mph School Safety Zone on Haxby Road,

·          An amendment to the speed limit on the roundabout junction of Haxby Road with the A1237 Outer Ring Road,

along with authority to enact these Orders if no objections are received (any substantive objections to be considered at a future Officer in Consultation meeting).

(v)  gave authorisation for Officers to commence the necessary legal process for the proposed diversion of the existing Public Footpath, New Earswick No.1.

 

 

Reason:        To provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists between the villages of Haxby, Wigginton and New Earswick with the Clifton Moor leisure and retail park. In addition, the route will form the key part of a wider ‘Outer Orbital Route’ for cycling and walking from Poppleton to the University of York via Clifton Moor and Monks Cross.
