10.1

To report the receipt of
objections and concerns to the advertised Traffic Regulation Order
(TRO) required to fulfil the objectives of the Connecting
Sheffield: City Centre to Attercliffe and Darnall project. If
approved, the TRO will replace existing TROs and introduce new
provisions as necessary so as to implement waiting, loading and
unloading restrictions, free unrestricted and time limited parking
places, a bus lane, prohibition of motor vehicles restrictions, one
way restrictions, contraflow cycling, prescribed ahead only and
left hand turn movements, the removal of a bus gate and a 20mph
speed limit.
 
The report also sets out the
background to the project which the TRO is intended to facilitate,
other consultation comments, officer feedback and
recommendations.

 

 

10.2

RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the Transport,
Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee:-
 

(a) 
considers the objections to the proposed
TRO;
 

(b) 
authorises the making and implementation of the TRO
with the following modification to the original
proposal:
·      
The removal of a section of no waiting at any time
(double yellow lines) parking restrictions on the south side of
Roundel Street; and

 

(c) 
inform all objectors accordingly.

 

 

10.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

10.3.1

The proposed Connecting
Sheffield: City Centre to Attercliffe and Darnall project aims to
enhance sustainable access between the city centre, Attercliffe and
Darnall with the implementation of high
quality active travel infrastructure and bus priority
measures. These benefits are deemed, on balance, to outweigh the
objections raised against the proposed TRO.

 

 

10.3.2

The proposed TRO is required
in order to implement the
project.

 

 

10.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

10.4.1

All elements of the TRO are
required to enable the full implementation of the Connecting
Sheffield: City Centre to Attercliffe and Darnall project. Without
the TRO the full benefits of this project will not be realised.
Choosing not to make the TRO (i.e. doing nothing and abandoning the
proposal) or making a version with more substantial reductions in
the extent of its restrictions are therefore options which are not
recommended.
