RECOMMENDATIONS:-
2.1
That the Committee notes the newly published statutory guidance,
published under Section 18 of the Traffic Management Act, in
relation to the removal of temporary lanes as summarised above in
paragraph 1.3 of this report.
2.1 That the Committee agrees to the removal of the
Phase 1 temporary cycle lanes on the Old Shoreham Road; and
2.2 That the Committee instructs Council officers to
urgently develop and provide committee members with proposed
criteria for any further consultations and data reporting in
relation to future active travel measures, in order to demonstrate
empirical evidence to support balanced
analysis.
2.2 The Committee notes the government’s
decision to withhold £277,520 of Capability Funding that the
Council had successfully bid for due to the committee’s
decision on the 21st July 2021 to seek a report to consider the
removal of the Old Shoreham Road Cycle Lane Phase 1 as summarised
in paragraphs 4.6 and 4.7 of this report.
2.3 That the committee agree to retain the Phase 1
temporary cycle lane on Old Shoreham Road due to the negative
impact its removal would have on road safety, the environment,
equality, and wider funding opportunities. This would also allow
for appropriate monitoring to take place as set with the newly
updated statutory guidance issued under section 18 of the Traffic
Management Act 2004.
2.4 That the Committee agrees to progress the
development of improvements to the Phase 1 Old Shoreham Road Cycle
Lane as a temporary scheme (from The Drive to Hangleton Road) as
set out in Appendix 2, including temporary changes to increase
vehicle capacity at the Olive Road / Stapley Road junction.
Committee also agrees that further monitoring is undertaken in
accordance with the newly updated statutory guidance issued under
section 18 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
2.5 In the event that the committee seeks to remove
Phase 1, that the committee agrees to retain the section of Phase 1
between Holmes Avenue and The Drive for the reasons set out in the
report and that further monitoring is undertaken in accordance with
the newly updated statutory guidance issued under section 18 of
Traffic Management Act 2004.
2.6 In the event that the Committee agrees to
retain the scheme that Officers begin further monitoring of the
scheme, to be reported back at a future committee.
