Decision:

Resolved:

i. The Executive Member approved the scheme as shown in Annex A to provide a crossing point on Green Dykes Lane.

Dykes Lane, which is in close proximity to the University of York and a local primary school.

Minutes:

The Executive Member considered the report and officers confirmed the work which had been taken which had led to identifying the proposed placement of the crossing. This included ensuring the crossing would remain desire line and therefore encourage use and therefore safe crossing on a busy road. The Executive Member considered that there had been a submission against the proposal but agreed to the schemes and noted the positives of the use of a railing leading to the crossing that would encourage use at this location.
