Is subject to call in?: No
Approval to
i)implement changes to parking and waiting Traffic Regulation
Orders (TROs) associated with the new bus stop to the North of
Victoria Avenue, namely the removal of five parking spaces;
ii)abandon changes to TROs associated with relocating the existing
Zebra crossing following an objection received.
Following consultation on parking space
removal to create a bus stop, no objections were received and this
change can be delivered.
During informal consultation for parking removal associated with
relocating the zebra crossing outside the United Reformed Church,
an objection was received. There were concerns that this would
present difficulties for congregants, especially during weddings
and funerals. Since this objection cannot be readily overcome, it
is recommended to abandon this TRO modification and instead seek to
make improvements to the existing zebra crossing to bring it more
in line with standards.
NYC could proceed with the parking removal
outside of the United Reformed Church as originally intended. There
is other parking in the vicinity which could be utilised by church
service users, however these are further away from the existing
access and removal of this
parking would cause a degree of inconvenience; this could lead to a
negative public perception of the highway authority.
Several different locations and arrangements for the zebra crossing
had already been considered and discounted. As such the best
approach would be to make improvements to the existing Zebra
crossing to bring it more in line with standards, within the limits
of existing Traffic Regulation Orders so as not to cause further
delay to works beginning on site.
