Decision details

Purpose of Report: Building on the work contained within previous reports concerning pedestrian and cycle crossing points on the Bishopthorpe Road, this report will bring options for potential alterations which might be made at one or more pedestrian crossing locations on Bishopthorpe Road.

The Executive Member will be asked to give his consideration to the options presented.

Resolved: 

(i)      That Option 1 be approved and a 20 metre extension to the existing no waiting at any time restrictions (Double Yellow Lines (DYL)) and a small extension to the build-out to allow the crossing width to be increased by 0.8m be agreed.

(ii)      That the proposed change to the parking restriction extension (as detailed in (i)) and clearway south of Campleshon Road be advertised and any objections be considered at a future Executive Member Decision Session.

(iii)     That officers be asked to prepare a report on a potential resident parking scheme, specifically in relation to the impact of pavement parking, for consideration at a future Executive Member Decision Session before a decision is made whether or not to advertise a potential residents parking scheme for the area.

Reason:    

To ensure that a joined up approach is taken to parking provision and road safety in the area and to address concerns raised in relation to the potential impact of pavement parking as part of a resident parking scheme.
