We support your statement "Improve the integration between the Campus and the surrounding communities by enhancing walking...". However, you should be aware that the currently proposed CSET guided busway will replace the DNA cycle path with the busway and remove the current footpath access to Nine Wells. It would be good if you could advise the CSET project against such a strategy.
The car parking policy fails to take account of the impact that the lack of parking space provided has on the area surrounding the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, particularly the residential streets.
The SPD should recognise that the charges levied on car park users have a significant impact on whether they will park on-site or off-site. It should be a requirement that such charges on any car park on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus should not be so high as to encourage off-site car parking and ideally there should be no charge on employees working at Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
The SPD should require clear separation of walking and cycling routes, including potential
use of different surfaces and heights.
