Minutes:

Officers introduced the item and confirmed that this was a continuation from the item considered on the Tadcaster Road Sustainable Transport Scheme on 19 October 2021. The Executive Member made several enquires including regarding cycle safety across the scheme. Officers noted that a balancing act was in place across the scheme to ensure safety for pedestrians and cyclists, it was confirmed that the plans focused on following LTN120 guidance, however this was not always possible. Regarding cycle lanes it was noted that the width of the road fluctuated between 8 meters and 11.5 metres and therefore, in places where the full width sort for cycle lanes were not possible could be addressed with stepped up cycle paths. It was also confirmed that proposals for Sim Balk Lane and Moor Lane would be brought for consideration at a future Decision Session.
