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.

Petition to City of York Council from the residents of Irwin and Malton Avenue, Y031 7 TX.  Residents have very strong concerns about the danger to pedestrians caused by speeding traffic on the two streets and petition the Executive to consider their suggestion for how the neighbourhood can be made safer.  The most favoured solution is to block Irwin Avenue as a through road from Dodsworth Avenue and make the junctions at Dodsworth Avenue and Malton Avenue onto Heworth Green left turn only to help with traffic flow.

Verbally presented to Full Council 21 October 2021 by Cllr Claire Douglas.
