Decision:
Resolved: That the Cabinet Member:
(i) Gave approval for the implementation of the proposed highway improvements as shown at Annex C of the report.
(ii) Supported the work of the School Travel Adviser with the school and requested Officers to investigate how other Local Authorities have continued to collect normal mode of transport to school data, and consider the applicability of this for City of York Council.
Reasons:
(i) To improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists using Low Green to travel to school.
(ii) The school is already engaged in working with officers to address anti-social parking and has a programme of initiatives that will continue this work. Collection of mode of travel data will allow more targeted work and improve effectiveness.
Minutes:
The Cabinet Member considered a report which outlined proposed highway improvements to Low Green following safety concerns being raised about walking to Copmanthorpe Primary School.
Officers outlined the report, in particular that the concerns would be addressed by a highway improvement scheme to increase visibility at crossing points, by discouraging parents from parking at the school entrances and by a programme of travel initiatives to reduce car use and to promote considerate parking.
The Cabinet Member noted the report and agreed the Officer recommendations.
