Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan

Representation ID: 54528

Received: 05/10/2020

Respondent: Cambridge Cycling Campaign

Representation Summary:

In order to achieve a process of comprehensive and coordinated development across the site, we support Cambridge Past, Present and Future’s recommendation to establish a Special Purpose Vehicle such as a locally-controlled Development Corporation to ensure that the vision for the area can be properly realised.

Any new or changed designs for junctions should be subject to public consultation.

It is essential that access is maintained for people walking and cycling throughout all periods of construction and that where diversions are necessary, these are convenient, adequately signed and accessible for people of all ages and abilities to navigate by cycle or on foot. Where necessary to achieve this, roadspace should be temporarily re-allocated from motor vehicles and additional diversions implemented for motor vehicles to enable this. It is especially important on key routes such as the busway cycleway.
