Additional actions/agreements

 

Agree to re-consult on an extension of the 20mph speed limit to include the new toucan crossing by Waitrose.

Cycling Groups invited to set up a coalition group to help advise on design work to include further discussion on junction design specifically Eynsham Road and A420 slip and design of cycle facilities.

Support location of toucan crossing at Riverside Road and relocated bus stop (in conjunction with next 2 actions down).

Officers to look again at retaining the central pedestrian crossing island outside Waitrose.

Officers to investigate reducing size of central traffic island to east of the proposed toucan crossing at Riverside Road to maximise length of right turn lane.

Officers to look at widening the pavement in connection with the staggered crossing at Westway. Possible need to reconsult on that and if so consider inclusion with the re-consultation on the 20 mph extension.

Investigate Old Botley Island area to see if it is possible to make improvements for pedestrians.

No support at present for removal of Islands along A420 Botley Road.

No support for a 20mph limit on whole length of Botley Road.

No support for provision of coloured cycle lanes.

Officers to consider signage for off road cycle routes and provision of safer right turns to connect to the quiet off road routes.
