Minutes:
The
Committee received a report from Dan Clarke, Capital and Funding Manager,
Cambridgeshire County Council, informing Members of the process for allocation
Corridor Area Transport Plan (CATP) s106 funding.
Mr Clarke advised that
he welcomed the views of the Committee on the range of proposed projects
highlighted in the report and their proposals for additional schemes for future
consideration and assessment for funding.
Mr Clarke asked for
proposals to be e-mailed direct to himself -ACTION
Councillor Kightley noted that although 3.1 of the report stated that
the Madingley Road Cycleway Improvement was complete,
this was not the case. This meant that
that the spending of the total funding from s106 was complete. Mr Clarke
confirmed that there were various funding avenues where the remainder of the
monies could be obtained from to complete the project.
Councillor Reid
requested further detail on the on-going ring road signage project which Mr
Clarke agreed to send on.
Initial suggestions
were then put forward:
i.
Completion of Madingley
Road cycle way to the Park and Ride site.
ii.
Improve cycling facilities on Queens Road.
iii.
Improve bus service for City residents.
iv.
Improve cycle access at the junction of Northampton
Street, Castle Street and Magdalene Street.
v.
Increase awareness of cycle priority in areas of
the City such as St Andrews Street, Sidney Street and Downing Street.
vi.
Cycling improvements on the junction of Mill Road, Trumpington Street and at Fen Causeway roundabout.
vii.
A detailed
study to determine how the inner ring road could be made safer for cyclists.
viii.
Improve and extend the scope of the Huntingdon Road
cycle scheme.
Councillor Reid recommended viewing the cycle accident statics when
scrutinising the projects for funding.
The following suggestions were put forward by members of the public
present:

the city, such as that on Parker’s Piece.
ii.
