Decision details

 As part of the on-going Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF) works, it is proposed to change a footway into a shared use cycle track for pedestrians and cyclists along A6 London Road between Frenchwood Avenue and North Road, Preston.

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No. 25 have been complied with.

County Councillor John Fillis, the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport gave approval to the:

1. conversion from a footway to a shared use cycle track with a right of way for pedestrians, along London Road between Frenchwood Avenue and North Road, Preston. Works considered appropriate to construct the cycleway to enable cyclists to be safely accommodated, as set out in the report and shown on the plan attached at Appendix 'A', and

2. relocation of the existing bus shelter between the two Moore Street junctions a further 1.5m away from the existing kerb edge to make sufficient space to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists, as set out in the report and shown on the plan attached at Appendix 'B'.

3. the dedication of adjoining land in the ownership of the County Council and the taking of dedication from the City Council of adjoining land as a widening of the A6 highway should it be required for the cycletrack as set out in the report and shown on the plan attached at Appendix A.
