Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and the Climate Emergency considered the report which reported on the feedback of the statutory consultation carried out from 20 October to 10 November 2021, on proposals to improve protection for cyclists using the northbound and southbound cycle lanes along Bounds Green Road from the junction with High Road to Bounds Green underground station. The report also sought approval to proceed to implementation, having considered objections received to the statutory consultation.

The Cabinet Member RESOLVED

To approve the implementation of the Bounds Green Road cycling improvement scheme, which includes:

(i)            Converting the majority of the existing southbound and northbound advisory cycle lanes on Bounds Green Road from the junction with High Road to Bounds Green station to mandatory cycle lanes and the single kerb blips to double kerb blips.

(ii)          Adding protection for cyclists by replacing the existing wand and mini orcas with longer poles installed inside the markings of the new mandatory cycle lane.

Reasons for decision

The Council is required to consider the feedback received during the Statutory Notification period, in particular any objections to proposals, prior to proceeding to implementation. The proposed changes will make it safer for cyclists using these lanes as motor vehicles will not be allowed to enter the mandatory cycle lanes.

Alternative options considered

None.
