Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC) is currently in the process of developing a new wayfinding system for the communal, external spaces within the campus. This system will include new maps and signage to improve navigation in public spaces for staff, patients and visitors to the site and help to reduce stress when visiting the campus. In order to fully understand how the campus is currently used and the key issues, we would like to gain your invaluable input.

Note that the new wayfinding system will be focussing on the public space rather than the internal space of individual buildings, please limit your feedback to your experience of finding your way through the external public space on campus. Thank you in advance.

The county is planning to put up bollards to stop drivers/cars from using the unofficial carpark at Skater's Meadow. This carpark has long been a source of danger to people walking and cycling to Granchester Meadows.

From looking at the plans my main concerns

Narrow sections - less than 3m wide, which is not LTN 1/20 compliant and very unambitious seeing as 11,000 homes are being built in Waterbeach.

The separation from the carriageway is also very unambitious at 0,5m and not a properly segregated verge. 0,5m is the absolute minimum suggested in LTN 1/20. 1m is the minimum recommended.

Cambridgeshire County Council proposes to make the above Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, after consultation with the Chief Officer of Police the effect of which will be to :-

Prohibit all motorised vehicles on Oakington Road, Longstanton from a point 460 metres south east of its junction with Wilson’s Road to Longstanton Road, Oakington and Westwick at a point 370 metres north west of its junction with Lowbury Crescent.

Access for pedestrians, cyclists & equestrians will be maintained with provision for access for adjacent agricultural landowners and emergency service vehicles.

Cambridgeshire County Council proposes to make the above Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, after consultation with the Chief Officer of Police the effect of which will be to :-

Revoke 5.5 metres of the residents parking bay outside of 55 De Freville Avenue and replace with double yellow lines to facilitate a dropped kerb access.

How can cycle parking at Queen Anne Terrace car park be improved and made more secure?

A pair of one way swing gates have been installed on Coldhams common.  This blocks the path for people like me with a cargo bike because it is not possible to hold the gates open and hold the bike at the same time.  I spoke with someone on the site and they said it was needed to stop cows escaping while they replaced the cattle grid.  Surely there is a better way that don’t stop access for cargo bikes?
