Decision details

Purpose of Report: To provide feedback on the outcome of public consultation and outline costed proposals for Fossgate.

To note: The intention is to bring a further report to Cabinet in June 2014 to provide feedback on public consultation and seek approval for scheme proposals and funding for the Duncombe Place/Blake Street junction and Exhibition Square/Theatre Interchange projects.

Members are asked to agree scheme proposals and funding for the Fossgate project.

Resolved:  i)       That Cabinet approve Option 1 as the preferred design for the Fossgate scheme and a proposed budget of £310k. The work to be funded out of the £3m Capital budget already agreed for the Reinvigorate York programme (£305.5k) and supplemented from the Capital Maintenance budget 2014/15 (£4.5k) for carriageway patching, leaving a balance of £1,604.5k unallocated across the Reinvigorate York programme.

ii)       That Cabinet note that the preferred design and proposed budget for the Exhibition Square/Theatre Interchange and Duncombe Place/Blake Street junction projects will follow later.

Reason:      i)      To ensure delivery of the Fossgate project within the overall Reinvigorate York project programme.

 ii)     To keep Cabinet updated on the Reinvigorate projects.
