I received this letter yesterday.
The key section seems to be "it is unlikely...that a segregated uphill cycle route on Ecclesall Rd between Hunter's Bar and Banner Cross could be accommodated under current usage arrangements.
So, no attempt to change current usage arrangements is to be made, the private car is to be prioritised over cycling, walking and using public transport conditions will worsen for the poor folk who actually live on Ecclesall Rd (I used to inhabit a front bedroom on this stretch so I know just what it's like) At least we seem to have scotched the daft idea of introducing shared use on the pavements along here but no sensible alternative is being considered. Enhancing the quiet routes on road nearby is to be welcomed but there is no guarantee as to the timeframes for this.
Highway committee is making the decisions on this scheme on October 10.

Hi Simon,
It's not a committee decision I'm afraid to say. It's a single person, Leigh Bramall, who will take this decision.
"Speeding up decision making"
Wonderful.

I don't think that matters Mstt. Councillors generally make decisions based on the recommendations of their officers, whether individually or in committee. When they don't, the results are generally far worse than when they do (see Cllr John Hesketh).
