Issue - decisions

Resolved:            That the Cabinet Member:

Approved the revised scheme shown in Annex B for implementation, including the making of a Traffic Regulation Order covering the 20mph Zone. This is subject to the University of York giving a firm commitment to install an additional set of steps on the Market Square side of University Road as a second phase of works to be undertaken in 2015.

Reason:              Officers consider that the scheme will improve the safety of pedestrians, in particular university students crossing University Road. The revised proposals in Annex B include some key changes in response to consultation and detailed design. These include a reduction in the number of speed cushions, and the provision of additional steps to the Library footbridge (to be delivered by the University as a second phase) to offer a more desirable access to the bridge from the bus stops.
