FIX C CAMBOURNE TO CAMBRIDGE HIGH QUALITY PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTES AND STOPS

Bus stop locations must not be to the detriment of Caldecote residents

Full text:

Fix C - It is unclear whether it is envisaged that the easterly bus stop location will be in addition to the existing 'Caldecote turn' bus stop or whether it is to replace it.

-- If the former then it needs to be sited far enough away so that the existing stop remains viable (e.g. allow 55mph travel between the stops).

-- If the latter, then the bus stop and connecting pathways must be positioned so that the walking distance for Highfields Caldecote residents is not increased. (It should be noted that for many Caldecote residents, the existing bus stop location already exceeds the 800m target from this SPD. Whilst it may be impractical for Bourn Airfield to improve this, it must not make this situation any worse.)
