Proposal 2 - Horncastle Road, Burnt Ash Hill, Guibal Road, Winn Road and Exford Road

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Where fixed bus stops are proposed, these would include the following features:

Yellow painted bus stop/ bus cage markings road markings
Double yellow lines in the bus stopping area to indicate no parking at all times
Pavement and kerb changes to improve access, and help ensure safe operation of bus boarding ramps

Location specific:

As fixed bus stops are not proposed here, Woodyates Road would no longer be served by route 273, and passengers would need to walk to and from the proposed fixed bus stops on Horncastle Road or Guibal Road to access bus services
On Burnt Ash Hill, near to no’s 68-80 and the junction with Horncastle Road, the existing speed hump would be removed to facilitate the proposed new fixed bus stop. All other speed humps in the area would remain

In general:

The removal of the hail and ride service would mean buses would no longer stop on request
Two to three car parking spaces would be removed at each bus stop location
Drivers using this space to park would need to seek alternative space nearby and may have to walk further to access their vehicle
Fixed bus stops would improve access for passengers boarding and alighting the bus
They would also reserve space for the bus when in stop, making it easier for other vehicles to pass

The fixed bus stop proposals between Lee and Grove Park are detailed in Map 2 and the table below.
