Albert Street Canopy Removals and Utilities Relocation: Transport, Access and Parking DWP

2.1

Action: Send minutes from 8th of August 2017 meeting to CLG members

2.2

Michael presented on the Transport, Access and Parking DWP

2.3

Arron asked when the bus shift will be happening - Carol answered that AT Metro would consult on this but at this stage it’s looking like it will be January 2018, however this is still being discussed

2.4

Arron asked what essential contractor parking was - Michael answered that contractors who have equipment will be unloading and loading on site so will need parking for this - Dave added that there had been discussions with high rises regarding site parking and there would be no extraneous cars parked on site

2.5

Fiona commented that pedestrian routes should remain open in the city centre in order to keep access open to buildings - Michael advised that access will always be open to buildings - Dave added that the footpath outside the area where these works will be will have half the footpath open and the other half will have the container walkways - Fiona asked if the smaller shops will have access - Dave answered that they will always have access to their shops throughout works

2.6

Fiona asked if all footpaths would be fully accessible - Dave answered that this was the intention, however there would be a pinch point on the AA corner.

This is still being looked into. The standard width is 1.8m however the footpath will be 1.5m and the consent conditions have allowed this

2.7

Fiona suggested that the CRL should work with major employers to encourage public transport use - Carol answered that C2 did this with major buildings, this could be a possibility in this space as well

2.8

Fiona asked what the plan would be if the C2 works didn’t line up timing wise with these works - Carol answered that that the bus stop shift wouldn’t be happening at the same time and that things would line up - Dave added that within the first month it can be accommodated to suit if things don’t line up, however there is a back up plan if that isn’t the case. It is expected that everything will line up accordingly

2.9

Fiona advised that on page 22 of this DWP that it mentioned active transport like cycling and walking but it wasn’t explicit enough as it seemed to prioritise traffic and signals over active transport
