Agenda item

Parking on raised carriageways

The Deputy Chairman advised Members that a discussion had taken place at the most recent Castle Baynard Ward Mote regarding parking on raised carriageways.  It was considered more appropriate to have double yellow lines on raised platforms to ensure it was clear that parking was not prohibited.  The Transportation and Public Realm Director advised Members that Officers were looking to identify those areas where a disproportionate amount of tickets were being issued and this was being undertaken as part of a much wider review of parking in the City.  It was however agreed to introduce double yellow lines at all raised pedestrian crossings to reinforce that parking at these locations is not permitted.

London Bridge Staircase

The Assistant Director, Environmental Enhancement agreed to provide an update to the Sub Committee after consultation with the project manager.

Temporary Sub Stations

The Sub Committee discussed the requirement of sub stations in the City and whether there were alternative sites for these, perhaps below ground.

Stop/Go Boards

Members were informed that as part of development construction plans, the use of stop/go boards was considered and Officers were active in visiting the main construction sites to offer advice on safety measures although with the increase in development activity such monitoring is becoming increasingly difficult within existing resources.

Officers were currently considering resourcing options to progress a ‘modelling’ project so as all future developments can be mapped on GIS along with the resultant likely traffic impacts from each. This should enable Officers to plan works and to permit street works so as to minimise the impact on traffic and congestion in the City.
