Question 2

Yes, completely

Will the bike routes be separated from the pedestrian walkways? They might need to be extra wide, like in Trumpington Road. I can imagine a lot of cyclists using them, so they need to be safe for pedestrians too.

Mostly yes

No answer given

Mostly not

More routes over a14, good idea. More crossing on milton road, there's so many traffic lights as it is with crossings. Either have one or the other. But dont have crossings, bridges and an underpass in one small area

Yes, completely

I find particularly important the existence of cycle connections under A14 and above the railway for minimal disruption while keeping good connectivity. Please be sure to make those connections safe and large enough, given that sometimes some connections under highways get very eerie and muddy.

Yes, I think so.

Connections across A14 key. Also cycling routes should be focussed on making the most direct routes safe and comfortable - not providing indirect quieter routes. Not sure why the strategic paths within the development don't 'flow out' of Milton road - surely the key artery into the city.

Lots of connections, but what about buses and car parks. Many of the employees in this development will need to come from miles away to get the sort of home families want (and not what you are providing). You need to connect up places like Chatteris, Ramsey, Wisbech, Kings Lynn or have big car park. Unless you provide this employers won't want to come here.

The major issue which is being ignored is that all pedestrians and cyclists coming to/from this new area to/from the Abbey Chesterton bridge will have to cross Fen Rd/Moss Bank. This is a KILL ZONE. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week large vehicles speed recklessly down this section of road, often under the influence of drugs. The police have made it clear in council meetings that there is nothing they can do to stop it. If the planners of North East Cambridge do not make a plan to mitigate this risk then in my opinion the they should be held responsible for each inevitable death.

Mostly yes

No answer given

Mostly not

It is too far from the centre of Cambridge and people may cycle but certainly won't bother to walk. Buses would have to be vastly improved. Except to Milton Country Park links to surrounding villages are too far and people will not be prepared to cycle and certainly not walk. They will want to use cars.

Neutral

I'm not sure about that.. It is important to encourage walking and cycling and add areas for people who have dogs too, and sustainability important but Cambridgeshire is a big county and many people need their cars to access other villages etc. Maybe an additional car sharing area with electric cars would be an additional advantage. You also have to think of a diverse demographic.. Not all young people but older too.

The state of the ones you have no are exceptional in how poor they are. Embarrassing compared to the number and quality of cycle lanes in modern European (continental) capitals. Our road andsand pavement are the worst I have seen. Fix what infrastructure we have first.

This will be another warren of estates like Kings Hedges or Arbury. People who live there do not cycle or walk to surrounding areas, they drive cars and park illegally if necessary, ride motorbikes and disturb their neighbours, or stay at home. This will be exactly the same.

Yes, completely

No answer given

Mostly not

This assumes that the population will always be young, working and active. Although lip service is paid to the disabled it does not take account of people getting older, becoming ill or frail and no longer able to walk and cycle (that can happen to even those who are young and active). It does not allow for visitors by car (such as grandparents). It does not allow for self-employed tradespeople with vans to live there.

The underpass to Milton does not seem a sensible plan - why create a route that will be threatening to female users? The mere way cycle path is at odds with the proposed locations for the sewage works development (which is only proposed due to your desire to develop here!). A new bridge across the railway would be welcome.

Mostly not

The 'strategic' routes utilise existing routes, which will be expected to cope with an additional 18,000 residents and 20,000 new employees. The planned developments to cycling facilities for Milton Road will not be enough to meet this demand. There appears to be little to no recognition of the demands that this development will place on Kings Hedges Road. Creating new walkways between the Science Park and Kings Hedges Road as marked '4' on the map provided will simply increase the risk of 'parking displacement' as they will no doubt be used as easy-access routes for Science Park office workers and CRC without company-designated parking to utilise the on-street residential parking that is already at full capacity due to current over-crowding of the residential estates exacerbated by students from CRC using the surrounding roads to park. Note: yellow/white lines and new (revenue-generating) residents' parking schemes are not the answer: sensible planning is the only way to mitigate this.

However you connect with the villages belong the A14, if they are degraded by moving the sewage works to them, important archeaological sites at Landbeach or Honey Hill damaged, Honey Hill's open countryside which continues through the Quy Fen SSSI to the internationally important Wicken Fen desecrated, the previously attractive venues for relaxation like Horningsea rendered unpleasantly smelly with the wind in the wrong direction, why will your new community want to go to them whether on foot bicycle or car?

To create this housing estate the water treatment works will be moved to green belt land where others from surrounding villages walk and cycle. How can you justify this?

Yes, completely

Absolutely right. Active travel has so many benefits in terms of health outcomes and stimulating local business. Not only should the development be such as to encourage walking and cycling, I would go so far as to say that car use should be actively discouraged. If the developers do not know how to do this, there are now many case studies available from the Continent that they can learn from.

Mostly yes

I don't know enough about the local geography to really comment. Are you incorporating bike storage into the house building plans?
