Decision:
Decision: Not to Extend the Closure of the
Southbound Lane of Bishopthorpe Road Between Darnborough Street and
Scarcroft Rd from 4 August 2020.
Reason for the Decision:
Having reviewed the current impacts of the TTRO on Bishopthorpe
Road, it is evident as the economy reopens there is increased
traffic in the area, in particular there is a negative impact on
queue lengths on the inner ring road and the level of traffic on
adjacent residential streets e.g. St Benedict’s Road. There
will also be additional traffic diversions operating in the area
when the Micklegate Bar is closed on 10th August due to gasworks
which have already commenced on 24 July. Having considered the
latest public health advice and traffic impacts, I confirm the
decision to not extend TTRO. This location will be kept under
review in light of prevailing Covid 19 advice and further
considerations of sustainable traffic interventions at this
location will be considered as part of the Local Transport plan
development. The feedback collected on the scheme will be reviewed
and presented in a future decision session.

Option 2 - Agree Not to Extend the Closure of the Southbound Lane
of Bishopthorpe Road Between Darnborough Street and Scarcroft Rd
from 4 August 2020
Options Rejected:
Option 1 was rejected.
