✅support: on site provision of functional public spaces and nature: with reference to the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, development proposals should use S106 or other public funding opportunities to improve on the type and diversity of public realm spaces allocated for spontaneous and non-programmed outdoors recreation, regenerating leftover or neglected highways and public spaces and other opportunities for hard landscaping, as well as re-introducing nature, suds and raingardens. Shared highways surfaces should prioritise use for active modes of travel and encourage active engagement froma diverse local community, by increasing street furniture for seating, creating opportunities for urban sports and active landscapes, to encourage integration of young people and to promote an active, outdoors lifestyle. The needs addressed should reflect the demands of local residents and local businesses, in order to generate a local neighbourhood public realm strategy, reflecting a diverse resident demographic.

support: Comment relating to an urban design led approach to S/PRIA/EG with reference to the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I strongly support an urban, multi-discipinary design led approach which seeks to resolve transport issues with a comprehensive strategy that integrates transport with urban disciplines. Any design proposals should respect the conservation character of adjacent wards and offer sustainable solutions to re-invent the neglected 70s infrastructure.

✅support: Comment, Vehicular Traffic along Newmarket Road and East Road and underpass: I support the redevelopment of Newmarket Road pedestrian and cycle paths, and the adaptation of Elizabeth Way underpass as a public common. I support the re-design of the car-dominated transport roundabout to include cycle lanes and four required pedestrian & cyclist crossings, which prioritise pedestrians and cyclists and integrate practical and desired lines for better N/S and E/W connectivity.

✅support: Comment gateways / entry points to residential neighbourhoods: I support any improvements to create an urban gateway/sense of arrival in the city via the Elizabeth Way and the Newmarket Road. I support a change in perception of the hierarchy between cars and other transport users, contributing to lower speeds and improved safety and visibility for pedestrians and cyclists, elderly residents and children.

❌oppose: Comment re plans to demolish the Newmarket Road and East Road and underpass: I object to any plans proposing the demolition of the East Road Roundabout underpass, which would be an unsustainable loss of a public space. The underpass contains a thriving biodiverse landscape and also has great potential for adaptation as a public common, to include active landscaping, street furniture, skating, exhibitions, workshops and other cultural and public engagement.

✅support: Comment proposed extended site plan S/PRIA/EG I support a phased approach to planning, build and operations which seeks to address the imminent transport issues as a first priority. Following this, any plans should accommodate active modes of transport within the proposed multi-disciplinary urban plan, which seeks to re-imagine this area within the S/PRIA/Eastern Gate as a cultural hub. (as submitted by the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) project)

✅support: Comment regeneration of the bridge and adjacent underpasses within the S/PRIA/EG With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I support proposals that seek to regenerate and open for use, the empty storage facilities underneath the Elizabeth bridge and within the underpasses. This would enhance the area’s vitality and use and benefit from the existing pedestrian and cyclist footfall along the river promenade.

✅support: Comment relating to public realm improvements within the S/PRIA/EG With reference to S/PRIA/EG and the Elizabeth Way bridge and Underpass(es) cultural hub project, I support proposals that seek to increase and intensify planting and biodiversity within the S/PRIA/Eastern Gate. This includes areas above and adjacent to the Elizabeth way bridge, landscaped areas within the East Road underpass, and improvements along the Newmarket Road, including new hedges and trees planted to separate pedestrians and cyclists and other active transport users, from cars.
