Representation Summary:

Re: "A lack of places to...watch the world go by": Sadly, many working people no longer have time to "watch the world go by", and the more jobs you crowd into Cambridge the fewer people will have time to make any use of such places. If you want a quieter place - and many of us do, including myself - then you MUST reduce the number of jobs in Cambridge.

Representation Summary:

The document is a very concise description of the ills that bedevil Mitcham's Corner. Any measures that address these failings get the whole hearted support of our family. We have lived in this area for 40 years.
This area deserves to be more than a gyratory system.

Entirely accurate. At present it is a place to hurry through, noisy and polluted but with enormous potential to be a super cohesive community.

Representation Summary:

I agree that the area could do with decluttering, and some decent signage, and some re-thinking of the cycleways, particularly east-west, but I'm not convinced that a large T junction (controlled how?) is either necessary or desirable, and I am concerned that it will simply create a large bottleneck, which will not enhance a 'destination'

Representation Summary:

Agree that the shops and various shops are isolated from one another due to the heavy traffic in our neighborhood. However, it is more important to make the roads/neighborhood safer for pedestrians and cyclists (particularly local families). Currently walking to Jesus Green/City Centre with children and/or pets is a very stressful experience. Not sure if a place to 'watch the world go by' should be a priority at this stage given the far bigger problems at hand.

Our experience shows that all these points are true, and we are particularly unhappy with the way that pedestrians are hampered by the road layout.

Representation Summary:

car drivers often drive too fast along Chesterton Road which is wider and straighter than surrounding streets. Design needs to deter fast driving along the length of the road.

Representation Summary:

The popular walking and cycling route from Jesus Green, over the Jesus Lock Bridge, across Chesterton Road to Carlyle Road is on the boundary of this area.

The current hazards and problems with the highway arrangement here, which lead to many people cycling on the wrong side of the road and across the pavement to cycle over the zebra crossing should be included as of the problems identified.
