144. Title: Review and introduce two-way cycling in one-way streets Statement: We the undersigned petition the council to allowing cyclists to ride two-way in one-way streets to make cycling in York and its villages more convenient by opening up the street network, providing short-cuts, make cycling safer by offering alternatives to busy roads, and stop people riding on the pavement. City of York Council should review all its one-way streets, with the aim of progressively converting them either to two-way use (particularly for one-way systems on more major roads), or permitting contra-flow cycling (e.g. on narrower streets), unless it can be demonstrated that there are overriding hazards affecting cyclists. |

145. Title: Make York’s Orbital Cycle Route a real cycling superhighway Statement: We the undersigned petition the council to improve York’s Orbital Cycle Route to: -make it more pleasant, convenient, faster and easy to travel around, particularly avoiding stop-start travel caused by obstructions, lack of priority or integrated road crossings and narrow paths shared with pedestrians; - make it accessible to cyclist using not just 'ordinary' bikes, but e.g. recumbents, cargo bikes, children bikes, children carriers and specially constructed bikes for people with disabilities; - ensure the network reflects the increased use of electric bikes. Improve the wider city cycle network by: - creating better links with improved feeding and access routes from and to the suburbs and city centre; - linking cycle paths from and to the UoY campus & improving them to superhighway standard; - working with neighbouring district and county councils to improve midrange commuter cycle infrastructure, connections to long-distance tourist cycle paths and connect neighbouring towns and villages. |
