Micheal Carroll
Summary of Submission and Observation:
• Welcomes Objective 4.4 on Active Travel and commends the work to date on improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure • States their support for Section 4.1 • 4% target mode share for cyclists is unambitious and sets out the importance of good quality pedestrian and cycling networks to improve attractiveness and liveability in cities. • Considers there may be a conflict between active travel programme and increasing traffic congestion on roads. • Notes that land use is critical to transport planning and as such suggests that disincentives should be in place to discourage sprawled development. • States that Table 4.2 could be expanded to include a number of other costing analysis. • Considers Section 4.21 on pedestrianisation is far too short and should be expanded to consider reconfiguration of all traffic junctions. • Seeks a stronger commitment to implement the Lee to Sea.
