Queen Square Cycle Link TRO

Decision Maker: Cllr Caroline Roberts, Cllr Paul Crossley

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Whether to remove one parking space and replace it with a No Waiting At Any Time parking restriction as part of cycle path link from Queen Square to Queen's Parade, Bath

Decision:

The Cabinet Member agrees that the parking restrictions are approved in accordance with the advertised scheme

Reasons for the decision:

In accordance with Section 1 of the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984, the proposals are designed to ‘facilitate the passage on the road of any class of traffic and pedestrian’, and to ‘avoid danger to persons or other traffic using the road or to prevent the likelihood of any such danger arising’.

Alternative options considered:

Do not remove a parking space

However, if a parking space is not removed, the gap would not be wide enough for 2 way cycling and would not provide a space for cyclists travelling south to stop and wait before proceeding if the footway is busy
