Links to Cycle Route Through Hospital Grounds - Proposed Traffic Signals at Bootham to Cater for Cyclist Crossing Movements
Purpose of report: Cyclists will benefit from
a continuous cycle route from the existing Foss Islands Cycle
Route, through York Hospital to Bootham. This scheme will provide a
missing link in York's cycle network, and crucially, form part of
the Haxby to Station route agreed with Cycling England as part of
York becoming a Cycle City. Funding for this scheme has been
allocated within the 08/09 Capital Programme. Therefore, the aim is
to implement the scheme by the end of March 2009. The benefits of
the improvements for cyclists would be seen immediately. This
proposals would provide traffic signals at the Bootham junction
with St. Mary's and The Drive, thereby greatly assisting cyclists
crossing the busy A19 by prioritising cyclists' movements.
Members are asked to: Approve the proposals for
implementation.
