Issue - meetings

This report should help inform the Executive Member’s decision on how to take a scheme forward to address residents’ concerns regarding existing traffic levels following the request of a review from the Clifton Ward Team and a residents petition.

Resolved:

                   i.        That the Chief Operating Officer be recommended to approve option 3 for implementation (the proposals as consulted on plus amendments following the road safety audit) subject to the Ward Committee confirming that they have sufficient funds.

Reason:    To provide a refresh of the traffic calming on this section of road to address residents’ concerns over the increasing speed and volume of vehicles, with appropriate amendments to ensure the scheme is as safe as possible.

Officers outlined the current issues with existing traffic calming measures on Burton Stone Lane, including deteriorating speed cushions and measures which send cars closer to kerbs making the street less safe for cyclists and pedestrians. The Executive Member noted the options outlined in the report, as well as concerns from emergency services and buses. He agreed to support option 3 in the report and requested that regardless of final design, that monitoring, and cleaning regimes be in place to maintain safe cycle lanes.
