Opportunity to update on the progress of schemes which have been allocated Northern Corridor Area Transport Plan (NCATP) funding and seeking views and ideas on any additional schemes for consideration.

Report to follow

The committee received a report from the Capital and Funding Manager, the Cycling Projects Team Leader and the Area Manager (Traffic).

1) Ms Johnson: Expressed concern that a cycle route from Orchard Park to the City Centre would result in more anti-social cycling.

The Cycling Projects Team Leader confirmed that the aim was to make the route as safe as possible. It was also noted that the proposal would go out to full public consultation.

2) Mr Bond: Suggested that the 20mph scheme may give an opportunity to look at providing a different road environment for cyclists, cars and pedestrians.

This comment was noted.

3) Councillor Todd-Jones: Confirmed that the Fen Road Steering Group had generated a lot of good ideas and suggested that a further meeting take place with input from County Council Officers and Network Rail.

The Area Manager (Traffic) agreed to progress this with Network Rail and then liaise with Councillor Todd-Jones.

4) Resident: Asked if any additional funding had been allocated for the Histon Road crossing.

The Area Manager (Traffic) confirmed that there was a total budget of £70,000 and that discussions would take place with Parish Councils prior to a public consultation.

5) Councillor Todd-Jones: Asked if any progress had been made on the additional projects as identified at the North Area Committee in September 2012.

The Capital and Funding Manager confirmed that these would be looked at.

6) Mr Bond: Confirmed that the bus stop on Milton Road remained a problem.

This comment was noted.

7) Mr Bond: Suggested that, as the bus stop on Green End Road was now permanent, appropriate road markings should be installed.
