Introduction
City Deal has proposed a new busway ("Option 3") between Cambourne and Cambridge carving a new right-of-way through the fields between West Cambridge and Cambourne.
Local Liaison Forum proposal
- Members of the forum have proposed an alternative plan ("Option 6") using Madingley Road (A1303) instead of a new busway through the West Fields:
- It is unclear what the impact of this proposal would be on the Madingley Road / A1303 shared-use path for walking and cycling. There are several sections to be considered:
- West of Madingley Mulch Roundabout
- Between the Madingley Mulch Roundabout and the M11
- East of the M11 to J.J. Thomson Ave
- J.J. Thomson Ave to the city centre
- The Option 6 proposal calls for a "dedicated cycle route" from West Cambridge to the city centre but does not specify where this dedicated cycle route would be placed.
- These questions require further answers...
Smarter Cambridge Transport proposal
- Smarter Cambridge Transport has drawn up a document with yet another proposal for how to make progress.
