Report of the Director of the Built Environment
Minutes:
The Sub Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment seeking approval for Phases 2 and 3 of the Mark Lane Public Realm and Transportation Enhancements project. The Director of the Built Environment introduced the report and gave a short presentation on the proposals to the Sub Committee, outlining the project so far and the proposals for consideration.
The Sub Committee then proceeded to discuss the proposals. In response to questions from Members, the Director of the Built Environment assured Members that the project accounted for a significant development in the vicinity, and the two projects would be connected without conflict. The Sub Committee was advised that the substantial increase in project cost, which had caused concerns, was mostly due to the addition of Phase 3 of the project, which had not originally been part of the project. The Director of the Built Environment further advised that the project was low-risk, with a more detailed Risk Register to be submitted to the Projects Sub Committee, and that officers were not expecting the proposed Traffic Order to be obstructed.
Members were supportive of the scheme, and expressed particular approval for levelling up the roadway with the pavement within projects. Arising from the discussion, the recommendations were put to vote amongst eligible Members, who voted in favour of the recommendations.
