5. Irwin Avenue Speed Management Scheme
Resolved: To approve Option 3
i. To do nothing and leave Irwin Avenue as existing.
ii. To commit to a future scheme to review the Dodsworth Avenue/Heworth Green junction.
Reason: The view of most residents was that the proposals do not address the main areas of concern and this would therefore be a waste of resource, with funds better used elsewhere.
6. Decision Report: Bishopthorpe 20mph Experimental Traffic Regulation Order
Resolved: To approve Option 5 – to make a reduced area of the experimental Order permanent and allocate funding to undertake further work to reduce speeds on the approaches to the village.
Reason: This option introduces the reduced area as a permanent 20mph area whilst committing the Council to undertake further work to assess existing speeds, street character and measures, which supports the implementation of the wider ETRO area as a 20mph area with good levels of compliance.
Reallocated funding from the Mayoral Combined Authority budget will be required; the Executive Member noted that £400k funding was available.
