With regard to the width of the Trail, the standard width for new two-way cycle paths is 3m and 'the suggestion that the Trail needs to be 6m wide should be removed from the SPD and replaced with the requirement that the route be at least 3m.' Many other parts of the Trail are incapable of providing a 3m wide path let alone 6m e.g. tunnel under Mill Rd bridge and route south from there to the station. Accordingly it is not appropriate to provide a 6m wide path for the depot part of the Trail and reduce the opportunities for landscaping and other elements of the depot plan.
