The Cabinet Member for Highway Management APPROVED the following:
a. The introduction of an experimental bus lane for westbound buses on St Clements Street, London Place and Headington Hill along with necessary supplementary measures, including:
i. removal of the on-street parking bay between Caroline Street and Boulter Street,
ii. conversion of parts of the existing eastbound cycle lane from ‘mandatory’ (solid white road marking) to ‘advisory’ (dotted white road marking),
iii. removal of a short section of eastbound cycle lane between Boulter Street and Bath Street, and
iv. extension of existing cycle lanes in both directions at the signalled crossing west of Caroline Street by relocating the crossing zig zag markings.
b. Noting that an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order allows the Council to adjust the scheme once it is in force, authorise the Corporate Director for Environment and Place in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Highway Management to make changes to the experimental scheme before it comes into force.
