Question 11 - we asked:
Hallgarth Street and Church Street are both key links without safe cycling facilities. For example, there is a good off-road route from Mount Oswald to the Whitechurch junction, but no safe route onwards into the city. There are many demands on road space, including car parking, and the pavements are congested with the heavy university flows in term time. Making each street one-way might allow for safe cycle lanes and pavement widening. Would you support such measures, or do you have any alternative proposals?
We asked this question only in Elvet and Gilesgate.

I believe that St Oswald's church has offered pedestrian access through the churchyard. Might they also offer cycle acess? If there were a way of accessing Kingsgate bridge without needing to go back onto Church street I think cyclist might use the through route. (This would involve accessing the back gardens of the Church street houses - a reasonable pay off for the reduction of motor traffic in front of their houses? |
| Omide DEINALI (Labour Party) |
I have no issue with one way systems. |
