1. Summary

1.1 The following decisions are sought:

(i) That the Project Appraisal for the provision of an on-road cycle route between the railway station and town centre car park, Petersfield, including a contra-flow cycle lane in Park Road, to be externally funded at an estimated cost of £66,500, be approved.

(ii) That the making of a Traffic Regulation Order, providing for a westbound contra-flow cycle lane in Park Road, Petersfield to a width of 1.5 metres measured north from the southern kerbline, be approved.

2. Reason

2.1 This decision supports Aim 2 (Stewardship of the Environment) of the Corporate Strategy by providing cycling facilities that offer a viable alternative to motor vehicle transport from a major travel hub to local shopping and leisure facilities as well as residential areas.

3. Other Options Considered and Rejected

3.1 An alternative option of cyclists exiting the station to the north and travelling east along Station Road and south along Chapel Street to link with Park Road was considered at the feasibility stage. This option was dismissed due to its indirectness, the additional length of the route compared to the final option and the high volume of traffic along Station Road.

4. Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Decision Maker or Other Executive Member Consulted - None.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - Not applicable.

6. Reason(s) for the Matter being dealt with if Urgent - Not applicable.
