Local Sustainable Transport Fund - Proposed Cycle Route
Minutes:
Patrick Carney presented the Local Sustainable Transport Fund – Proposed Cycle Route report.
Councillor Hytche asked if after implementing the scheme it proved not to be successful, could the cycleway be removed. Patrick Carney advised schemes are reviewed by Officers and on occasion by the Road Safety Auditor generally 6 to 12 months after implementation to ascertain its success and confirmed cycle ways can be removed if deemed appropriate.
Councillor Cowell advised he has concerns with the cyclists using Fleet Walk and the possible accidents that may occur with pedestrians. Patrick Carney advised there will be a designated running lane installed in Fleet Walk and it is hoped cyclists will keep to this area.
Councillor Cowell proposed that the issue concerning Torre and the possible reversal of the route is put on the agenda to be discussed at the next Transport Working Party meeting.
Councillor Pountney advised he has concerns with cyclists using the area around the banjo. Patrick Carney advised he is currently reviewing the options available for a cycling route in respect of this area.
Recommendation
Officers to proceed with the next stage of the implementation of the cycle routes using the ring fenced funding available.
