Grafton Area of Major Change SPD 2017

Representation ID: 31955

Received: 03/11/2017

Respondent: Cambridge City Council

Representation Summary:

Very very important that it is sensitive to existing streets, and doesn't become a rat run for any vehicles. It's not just taxis who do this now. There are also a lot of delivery vehicles which get lost here, and vehicles going on strange adventures.

It's worth looking at Dutch cities like Leiden to consider how cycling can sit comfortably alongside pedestrian use. Colour coding the route so that it visually represents a potential hazard can help.
