Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 54054

Received: 04/10/2020

Respondent: Mrs Tamsin Beevor

Representation Summary:

Fen Road is a key cycle access route from the city generally to the Science Park, and to Cambridge North Station. The level crossing on Fen Road is a major impediment to businesses on Fen Road and makes Fen Road a dangerous and intimidating cycle route. Any development which does not include provision of vehicular crossing of the railway will make the existing situation worse. This issue must be addressed if the scheme is to claim that it is connected to the wider network.
