6. DELIVERING THE PLACE
Suggest amendments to 'trigger points', phasing and monitoring targets to improve mode share for non motorised modes from occupation.

Suggest amendments to 'trigger points' for the following, such that active transport is an option from day 1:
* Improved foot/cycleway from Waterbeach to north of city
* Link to Cottenham
* Traffic calming and improvements to Waterbeach junctions
* A10 junction must be available pre-occupation to keep traffic out of the village

Phase 1 works should include direct access from A10 to the relocated station, to ensure no traffic through village.

Lack of key for Figure 34, and no indication where first houses to be located. If located on primary route, disaster for sustainable transport aspirations. Build closest to village first to build joined up community.

Ambitious walking / cycling target of 50% should be included - Houten achieves 55% non motorised mode share, no reason why Waterbeach shouldn't achieve similar.

WCC are interested in being part of Transport Strategy Review Group.

Lack of reference to construction traffic - it should not be routed through the village but from A10.
