Decision

That a feasibility study for a central
bi-directional cycle route for Victoria Avenue is commenced, ready
to bid for funding when appropriate future funding streams are
announced;

officers commence the detailed design and seek to deliver the
pedestrian only improvement scheme as soon as practicable and
subject to the outcome of the TRO process; and

the TRO processes for both scheme options commence as soon as
practicable.

Reasons for the decision

Delivery of pedestrian only phase is not
contingent on gaining extra funding, therefore can be delivered on
site as soon as the detailed design and tender phases are
completed.
Feasibility study of the potential central bi-directional way will
enable the potential scheme to be de-risked and costed; if
deliverable this can be developed to a bid ready status in
readiness for future funding bid options.
