Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
The Joint Assembly RECOMMENDED that the Executive Board:
a) Notes the draft Consultation Report for publication on the GCCD website.
b) Reviews the preferred options and approve further technical work to develop and refine the options, which improve public transport reliability, connectivity and access through park & ride expansion, proposals to deliver bus priority and increased cycling through improved infrastructure to support sustainable travel between homes and jobs, particularly:
i) Road safety enhancements between Linton and Horseheath.
ii) Improvements to signalised junctions and westbound bus lanes in Linton.
iii) Measures to improve bus journey times through Linton High Street.
iv) New and improved cycleways between Babraham and Great Abington / Granta Park.
v) A new park and ride site near the A11.
vi) A new westbound bus lane between the new park and ride site and Hinton Way roundabout.
vii) A new segregated bus route from the Babraham Road park and ride site to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC). Further work alongside future City Deal prioritisation work will determine if this route is to be on road or a new off road route;
(c) Endorses a second public consultation exercise on the preferred options to commence in September 2017 after further workshops have taken place with Local Liaison Forums and councillors, and agrees a delegation to finalise consultation materials. [1]
(d) Approves a one-off spend of £25,000 to undertake some transport modelling, as part of pre-Strategic Outline Business Case work on the dualling of the A1307 between Haverhill and the A11.
[1] A vote was taken on the proposal for the second public consultation exercise to commence in September 2017 after further workshops have taken place. Eight Joint Assembly members voted in favour of this, with three voting against.
