Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 31931

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Matthew Danish

Representation Summary:

Where is the cycling provision on this very wide road? There should be cycleways protected by trees and verges on both sides of the road, separate from motor traffic and separate from footways. There's no reason to force people who are walking across the road to wait in a central refuge. Make the road smaller by getting rid of the central median and put those trees on the sides of the road. Crossing the road should happen in a single stage. I have attached a conceptual drawing to show what a better East Road could look like.
