LTP3
The County Council meeting to discuss the draft Local Transport Plan 2011 – 2030 (LTP3) on Wednesday 13th October. JS, RM and GPS to attend.
Frideswide Square
About 15 people came to the meeting. A final document will go to the council. Susannah Pressel was there, concerned about access for Botley residents, and Corinne Grimley Evans expressed concerns about pedestrians. There was a lot of concern that Option D was good for pedestrians, and might generate increased traffic, despite bus gates. They hadn’t done anything on the drawings for cyclists, but could be made good for cyclists. Must have approach lane and advance stop square, plus a defined path for cyclists not comfortable going round a round about. Option C, Beckett Street diversion, hasn’t had a full modelling. RM will take on board the comments from today, and will revise the response. Include the need for cycle lane under the Botley Road railway bridge.
