Report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture
Decision:
1) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee approves the Pedestrian Crossing Priority List 21/22
2) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee authorises officersto progress schemes at priority locations where funding has been identified within the financial years 2021/22 and 2022/23.
Minutes:
54.1 The Committee considered a report of the Executive Director, Economy, Environment & Culture that presented the findings of the pedestrian crossing assessments of locations requested up to 30 June 2021 and identified priority crossing points to be delivered over the next 2 years, subject to the availability of funds.
54.2 In response to questions from Councillor Bagaeen, Senior Project Manager explained that each location was scored uniformly, and a ‘corridor’ treatment was applied rather than ad-hoc, individual schemes as this ensured wider safety improvements.
54.3 In reply to a question from Councillor Fowler, the Senior Project Manager that assessments entailed an initial one hour review and that would indicate whether a full 12 hour traffic count was required that would pick up peak movements at a particular location. The detail of the specific review undertaken at Brentwood Close was not to hand but could relate to improvements to sight lines rather than the need for a formal pedestrian crossing.
54.4 In response to a question from Councillor Bagaeen, the Senior Project Manager stated that 12 hour counts could count against school as the location may only be busy for a small proportion of that count however, close work was undertaken with the school crossing patrol programme team to ensure these locations were closely monitored.
54.5 The Chair then put the recommendations to the vote that were approved with Councillors Bagaeen and Councillor Nemeth voting against.
54.6 RESOLVED-
1) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee approves the Pedestrian Crossing Priority List 21/22
2) That the Environment Transport & Sustainability Committee authorises officersto progress schemes at priority locations where funding has been identified within the financial years 2021/22 and 2022/23.
