Decision details

Purpose of Report: To seek approval to implement the proposals.

The Executive Member is asked to consider the proposals and give approval for implementation of the preferred option.

The Executive Member considered a report which set out a revised scheme proposal in response to various issues that had arisen since the previous scheme was approved.

Resolved:  That Option ii be approved i.e. the scheme as proposed in Annex C of the report be implemented, with the exception of the proposed Toucan crossing facility which should be made a Parallel Crossing facility as soon as national regulations make this possible, and a Zebra in the meantime (as per Annex D of the report).  In addition, the savings achieved from changing the form of crossing facility be used to enable a full carriageway resurfacing scheme between the New Lane and Kathryn Avenue junctions.

Reason:     There would be significant advantages in implementing the scheme with the amended crossing proposals shown in Annex D.  This should bring down the overall cost of the scheme to around £115k and the savings would release money to allow a full resurfacing scheme to be carried out in conjunction with the proposed maintenance allocation.
