Binley Cycleway - Clifford Bridge Road

Earlier this year we held a consultation about plans for the section of Binley cycleway which goes along Clifford Bridge Road. Lots of you told us what you thought –

thank you.

We have listened to all of your feedback and have now produced a final set of plans. You can see the outline plan on the right hand side of this page as well as a more detailed plan.

The changes we have made include:

• The road will not be narrowed in width, but we will realign it along most of the length, using some of the wide lay-bys to ensure we can fit in all the main elements – pavement, parking and cycleway
• The number of parking spaces will be increased from the original plan, with some small changes to where they are located along the road.
• The cycleway and pavement will be separated by a kerb for most of the route, apart from two short sections - at the pedestrian bridge over the River Sowe and around a large Norway Maple Tree and bus stop close to house numbers 39-43
• Parking bays will be differentiated from the road by the use of mountable kerbs
• Once the work is complete – most sections of the pavement will be resurfaced
• Additional pedestrian crossings will be installed - including one by the roundabout and one by Coombe Park Road
• Visibility from all junctions and driveways will be as now or improved. We will make improvements where we can by moving kerbs or by introducing parking restrictions in close proximity to junctions
• We will add some new trees and sustainable urban drainage which will include a range of low growing plants
• we will remove a total of 26 trees. But we will plant 32 new trees. The new tree species are a good mix of species well suited to an urban environment. These will be planted with a special root protection system which will help them to thrive in the conditions. Notices will be placed on each of the 26 trees to be removed
• We will keep two lanes on the approach to the roundabout
