Madingley Road

Background

The major road that runs east/west on the northern side of the West Cambridge site.

In December 2018 the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) decided that they would begin a project to create safe walking and cycling infrastructure on Madingley Road, in response to residents concerns and the needs of the various stakeholders along the road, including many colleges and the University.

Three workshops were held over the summer to discuss ideas. We expect to see a consultation published sometime by the end of 2019 or early 2020.

The third workshop showed two options, one with more on-road cycle lanes, and option 2 with more protected cycleways (as well as separate and dedicated footways). Some better junction designs as well, including a possible protected junction at Eddington Ave / High Cross and also a tie-in with the protected cycleway proposed along JJ Thomson Ave.

Consultation: January 2020 until March 2nd
