Purpose

Transport for Greater
Manchester (TfGM) is working to improve journeys for people
travelling by bus, walking, wheeling, or cycling across Greater
Manchester. Enhancing bus stops is a key part of the Bee Network
vision — a joined-up, London-style public transport
system.
 
Through TfGM’s Bus Pinch
Points and Maintenance Programme, funded by the government’s
City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS), Mainwood Road in Timperley has been identified as a
location that would benefit from improvements.

Decision

That authorisation be
given to advertise the intention to introduce the Traffic
Regulation Order and Speed Limit Order as detailed in the Schedules
to the report and that, if no objections are maintained, the Orders
be made and implemented in whole or in part, as soon as is
practicable.

 

That authorisation is
given to advise frontages adjacent to the bus stops of the
intention to introduce Bus Stop Clearway markings at the locations
shown on Drawing E9415-005 to 008 and E9307-01.

 

That any objections
maintained be reported back for consideration.

Reasons for the decision

It is recommended that, in the
interest of bus access, traffic flow and road safety, to ensure
that adequate visibility is available at the junctions along
Mainwood Road, that  approval is given to advertise the proposed
Traffic Regulation Order and 20mph Speed Limit Order as detailed in
the Schedule.

Alternative options considered

To do nothing would not resolve
any of the issues currently experienced.
