Better Bus Areas - Results of Edward Street Public Consultation
10/07/2013 - Better Bus Areas - Results of Edward Street Public Consultation
1. That the Committee notes the results of the public consultation on the proposals for bus priority, pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure improvements on Edward Street as part of the Department for Transport funded Better Bus Areas Programme.
2. That, having taken into account the responses received, the Committee
authorises officers to proceed with detailed design and advertising the formal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for the Edward Street Bus & Cycle lanes and any necessary waiting & loading restrictions.
3. That the Committee authorises officers to commence construction on elements of the scheme that are not dependant on the outcome of the TRO consultation process. This would include the introduction of additional controlled crossings at the junction of Edward Street with Upper Rock gardens and Egremont place, footway build outs at Tillstone and John Street and side road raised entry treatments involving some kerb realignment. This work would not be abortive should the overall scheme fail to materialise following the formal TRO consultation.
