Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57922

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: North Newnham Residents Association

Representation Summary:

We support the development of dedicated cycling and walking infrastructure. There is, however, a need for segregation between the two. Shared pavement solutions are only viable where there is very limited usage. Where there are higher volumes of either pedestrian or cycle traffic or both there is a need to separate these forms of traffic. Mobility as a Service, which is currently being trialled in Cambridge and electric scooters raise issues about dangerous and anti-social usage which do need addressing.
