Consultations / plans
City Council money: Update on shortlist of projects for £300k over 4 years (£75k per year)RM wrote to Bob Price, money not confirmed but has cross party support. Remit is cycle lanes. RM will contact Matthew Bates and Tim Sadler at the city council to arrange a meeting. County Council will be involved as will have to be approved by them.
Our suggestions: Abingdon Road, north bound cycle lane. Marston Road southern end. Woodstock Road, south bound from Moreton Road. Cherwell Drive, Iffley Road, Hollow Way.
Road maintenance and renewal. We need to updated on what the forward plan is. We need to get in with the engineers and get them to talk to us regularly. Keep dialogue going. Build on the relationship built up with Iffley Road – follow up phase 2b.
Cycle Lane on Marston Road –watching brief
Frideswide Square – no more information, wait for the next steps. Talk to OxPA then.
Kennington Roundabout Plans–JD talk to relevant person at the county.
Cycle lanes on Iffley Road (Phase 1 implementation / Phase 2a drawings / CPZ) Nearly completed first phase, just seen phase 2a drawings at very short notice. Keep on talking. County nervous about the CPZ consultation.
Cycle lanes/tracks on The Slade / Old Road (progress note)
Cycle lanes on Donnington Bridge (parking / centre line)- agree that the county needs to make the cycle lane work by widening the cycle lane with a 0.5m safety strip or repainting the central line. State our case to the county.
Decision making.For the future discussions on these consultations and plans make sure we have proposal and a recommendation. / RM
