HEADED ITEM NO. 7e

HEADED ITEM: A Connected Place - Transportation.  Minor Wording Amendments

HI 7(e) Proposed Amendment PA057 relates to  Section 2.2.14 Walking and Cycling and proposes to insert new text.

REPLY:

In response to the submission of the National Transport Authority it is considered acceptable to revise the proposed amendment to insert a reference to ‘low carbon’ lifestyle and an additional statement to include a reference to the forthcoming NTA National Urban Cycle Manual. This is considered to be a necessary clarification for the practical application of the Plan during its lifetime.

 

Manager’s Recommendation

That the proposed amendment be revised to read: “In view of promoting a low carbon and healthy lifestyle….”.

And that the following new paragraph be added:

"Cycle provision, whether integrated with low speed, low volume general traffic in locations such as town centres or residential areas, or segregated from general traffic on higher speed and volume roads, will be provided in line with the forthcoming NTA's National Urban Cycle Manual."
