Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29473

Received: 20/01/2015

Respondent: Mr Tom McKeown

Representation Summary:

A second vehicular access is a reasonable compromise. However, it must consider active modes at a design stage; efficient access, priority over side roads, dedicated space. Also there should be no through routes between the two vehicular accesses, to prevent rat running and create a safe attractive space for active modes. Filtered permeability and bus gates should be used to enable active and public modes full access to the site.

Cowley Road access would also be greatly improved by opening up the old Network Rail access track as a high quality off road cycle and walking connection.
