Question 9
If you don't provide enough parking it won't discourage car ownership. Households will still need at least one car (to go to out of town shopping that you propose etc.)They will park in Arbury/Milton instead.

It all depends who is employed in the area and where they live, so there could be many incoming commuters with nowhere to park.

Don't care, go ahead whatever you have planned.

Cycle routes look good but will the residents of the new housing find employment in the local business area? If the businesses attract workers from elsewhere the whole 'commuter flow' concept will be undermined. A city-wide approach to discouraging car travel is essential.

Not sure car travel can be easily discouraged. Most families have at least one car. limiting official parking spaces leads to antisocial parking.

Milton Road needing to be one way only for cars (inbound) and Histon Road one way (outbound). It's the only way to fit in pedestrian, cycle and bus use (in both directions). Also pelican crossings need altering to 12 second intervals.

There are no proposals to deal with the communities travelling to Cambridge from outlying districts such as Fenland.

I think this has been apparent for some time and as such, our retail capacity has been damaged and folk are commuting to other areas to both shop and work.

How can you possibly say that traffic won't increase on Milton Road at all! Just the amount of deliveries alone for that many houses will increase traffic and those people are going to drive.

See answer 2. To have this would need park and ride buses which are affordable for all. This would boost the income of the the town centre & could eventually support a congestion charge with exceptions for disabled, Deliveries, collecting purchases from shops etc.

Not sure how this will not effect traffic on Milton Road.

Yes, but at 0.5 parking spaces per new home where does the average family park their cars. Most homes now have 2 or 3 cars per family.

What will you do to make Cambridge North Station attractive to users? At the moment trains are unreliable, parking expensive and complicated, lack of facilities at the station insufficient trains.

Is reducing car parking spaces the best way to do this? Surely people need a car to get out of the city - end up putting pressure on parking in inappropriate places?

What about people who can't walk and need to use taxis, cars, ambulances and wheelchairs?

Can't see how this won't create massive traffic jams around Milton Road Area- needs direct access to A14/Chesterton

but you may find that people park on grass verges etc and the whole area becomes an eyesore. If you force behaviour people rebel you should encourage (other forms of travel) rather than discourage

Very difficult to get people out of their cars. Need frequent bus service.

It's unrealistic to assume people won't have or need cars given poor bus transport across city.

No parking spaces for residents just means people will clog up surrounding areas with cars. Many people will not work locally, or will be unable to walk/cycle.

This is the biggest concern and needs more detail.
