Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration.

The report sets out proposal to widen the exit lane on Lisburne Lane at the signalised junction of Marple Road to allow cars to form a two lane side by side queue to increase vehicle capacity. This scheme also aims to improve pedestrian facilities by introducing push button pedestrian crossing control across Lisburne Lane and Marple Road which will result in a pedestrian crossing stage as part of the traffic signal operation at this junction. The existing central pedestrian island on Lisburne Lane is proposed to be removed.  

The report is being submitted for the information of this Area Committee.

The Area Committee is invited to acknowledge the proposals and note the report.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted and the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration be informed of the Area Committee’s concern at the current location of the bus stop on Marple Road and the possible negative impact that this may have on the proposed scheme.
