ePetition details

There has been an increase in the number of incidents affecting children who walk or cycle to school. Parents have also observed an increase in careless and dangerous driving in the area.

The scope of the review should be wide-ranging. Recommendations should include short term, straightforward measures as well as longer term, ambitious projects.

The experiences of children and parents who walk to school should inform the review.

The review should feed into York's Active Travel Programme, including schemes that are already planned such as the Fishergate and gyratory pedestrian and cycle scheme.

The review should consider measures such as:

- An extension to the 20mph limit already in place
- Wider pavements and segregated cycle paths
- More barriers between the road and pavement
- Improved or new pedestrian and cyclist crossing places
- Alternative locations for existing pedestrian and cyclist crossing places
- Increased signage, including vehicle activated signs
- CCTV cameras
- Restriction of traffic access by particular types of vehicles, or at particular times

There should be a clear timeline for implementation of recommendations.

The area surrounding Fishergate Primary School includes: Fishergate, Fishergate gyratory, Escrick Street, Blue Bridge Lane and Melbourne Street.
