Minutes:
This report presented responses received to a consultation on a proposed toucan crossing and associated extension of a shared use footway and cycle track. The proposal would seek to provide a safe and convenient crossing for pedestrians and pedal cyclists travelling between Launton and Bicester.
Cllr Gant responded to objectors’ comments to a lack of need for toucan crossing by echoing officers’ response that pedestrians and cyclists wishing to travel to and from Launton and Bicester currently had to cross the A4421 at an uncontrolled crossing, and it was anticipated that usage, which was already moderate, would increase appreciably in the future. Cllr Gant added that this proposal was in line with key priorities of this Council.
These proposals would help facilitate the safety of pedestrians and pedal cyclists.
DECISION
The Cabinet Member for the Highway Management AGREED to approve the proposed toucan crossing and associated extension of a shared use footway and cycle track.
