North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019

Representation ID: 32617

Received: 20/03/2019

Respondent: Dr Stephen Turner

Representation Summary:

Whichever of the options is chosen, it is essential that the cycling route is more convenient and faster than just going along or crossing the road, otherwise many people will not use the provided infrastructure. There are too many schemes where cyclists have a choice of sharing a narrow path with cyclists going in the opposite direction and with pedestrians, or joining a hostile road. I would like to see proper segregation of motor traffic, bicycles and pedestrians into three sets of routes.
