Cambridge Northern Fringe East AAP - Issues and Options

Representation ID: 29826

Received: 31/01/2015

Respondent: Mr David Collier

Representation Summary:

Support the focus on walking, cycling and public transport. But to make a route truly attractive for these users, pedestrians should not be forced to share pavement with cyclists and cyclists should have a route separate from the road. There is no reason why this cannot be achieved and it is unclear whether even option B would do this, as Cowley Road will still be narrow even if most of its traffic is removed. What is really needed is a new route away from the road.
