Resolved:

Reason:     To provide clarity on the objectives and scope of the

proposed scheme.

 

                     ii.         Approved the Project Outline for the ‘People Streets at Clifton Green Primary School’ scheme attached in Annex 2.

 

Proceed to undertake Feasibility work to understand costs, timescales, outline designs and consultation feedback to inform a further decision prior to implementation.

 

Reason:     To provide clarity on the objectives and scope of the

proposed scheme.

 

                    iii.        Approved the Project Outline for the ‘People Streets at Badger Hill Primary School’ scheme attached in Annex 3.

 

Proceed to undertake Feasibility work to understand costs, timescales, outline designs and consultation feedback to inform a further decision prior to implementation.

 

Reason:     To provide clarity on the objectives and scope of the

proposed scheme.

 

                   iv.        Agreed to make the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order relating to Navigation Road cycle scheme permanent.

 

Reason:     To successfully conclude the Navigation Road trial scheme.

                     v.        Confirmed that the proposals presented for the City Centre Bridges scheme align with the approved Project Outline, and decide to proceed with consultation, detailed design and implementation.

 

Reason:     To support progress towards implementation of a solution.

 

                   vi.        That officers work with the Department for Transport and Sustrans to use the existing funding to explore the feasibility of a new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists on the A1237.

 

For officers to consider whether in the longer term if active travel provision could be considered as part of the Outer Ring Road works.

 

For officers to explore shorter term options to improve safety are to be explored through the separate Safety Scheme Review process within the Transport Capital Programme.

 

Reason:     To consider options to create a safe crossing on the A1237.

 

                  vii.        That officers explore with the Department for Transport and Sustrans the possibility of undertaking feasibility work for a smaller scheme.

 

Reason:     To consider options for an affordable scheme to be undertaken.

 

                 viii.        Noted the outcome of the feasibility work for the ‘People Streets at Ostman Road’ scheme laid out in section 125 and decide to seek further funding before proceeding to implementation. Seek Active Travel grant funding support at the next round of bidding.

However, do not progress with detailed design work on Design Option 1 presented within Annex 8.

 

Reason:     Feasibility work indicates that whilst a practically achievable scheme has been identified, there is currently insufficient budget to deliver the scheme.
