Minutes:
Questions on matters relating to the work of the Committee were asked as follows –
Pedestrian crossing at St Paul’s (Millennium Bridge) – One Member raised concern regarding this crossing (which was a single very wide pedestrian crossing) and suggested it may be a safer option to include count down timers. The Assistant Director advised that the crossing itself was safe; however, if it was proven not to be it could be reverted back to being a standard crossing.
Closure of Jewry Street – Concern was expressed regarding the need to improve the diversion signs which had been put in place as a result of the closure of Jewry Street. The Assistant Director confirmed he would investigate and ensure the signage was revised if necessary.
Ludgate Hill – The Assistant Director advised he would report back to the Committee in respect of the timing of the experiment at Ludgate Hill.
Friday Street – Reference was made to the safety of pedestrians and Members were informed that the assessment of the safety of this area up to Cannon Street was being given priority.
