Decision details

Petition for a Push Button Crossing on Bishopthorpe Road at Butcher Terrace to improve pedestrian and cycle safety

Decision Maker: Decision Session - Executive Member for Transport

Decision status: Decision Made

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Purpose of Report: This report responds to a petition signed by 192 individuals and submitted to the Council requesting a push button crossing at the junction of Bishopthorpe Road and Butcher Terrace.

The Executive Member will be asked to: Consider the report content and determine the preferred option for dealing with stationary idling vehicle emissions in York.

Decision:

Resolved:  To undertake a detailed review of the Bishopthorpe Road which would include the assessment of the Bishopthorpe Road and Butcher Terrace / Southbank Avenue junctions, Bishopthorpe and Balmoral Terrace junction as well as the Bishopthorpe Road and Campleshon Road junction, with possible recommendations to be brought to a future meeting. The review would be undertaken as soon as the results of the new residents’ parking zones on Bishopthorpe Road and the side roads could be considered.

 

Reason:     With a consideration for the passing of time, changes to road conditions, highway standards and the expectations of users, the outcome of the previous review (i.e. installation of central refuges on Bishopthorpe Road) could differ from the one desired at that moment.
