This report asks the Executive Member to approve progression of the scheme to detailed design and construction, based on one of the four scheme proposals described within this report. The scheme proposals are included at Annexes A to D of the report.

Resolved:

                      i.         Approved progression of the scheme to detailed design and construction, based on Option C ‘Renewal of Traffic Signal Equipment with additional Toucan Crossing Introduction’.

Reason:     In order to progress the design and construction of the TSAR scheme at Malton Road / New Lane.

Officers confirmed that the item had come forward due to the need to replace the life expired traffic signal equipment and outlined the options and cost of proposals to improve the junction. The Executive Member considered the options and agreed to support Option C which he noted had the support Ward Members. Option C would introduce an additional Toucan Crossing for pedestrians. The Executive Member recognised this option did not improve cycle provisions and noted that future work on New Lane could include improvements.
