City Centre Proposals

Update 01/08/2022:&nbsp;A new bus service connecting 12 stops in and around Sheffield City Centre has launched today, providing residents and visitors the opportunity to hop onto the bus from the train, tram or other bus services. The buses will be available 7 days a week to cover the main shopping times and when footfall is highest, with a regular service throughout the day.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1659434653/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/dn3twz3j7y2wx7hefpi8.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="car" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view the route and timetable <a aria-label="You can view the route and timetable" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-gb/timetabledetails/12bf17f8-6477-46f5-91de-841485669887" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/en-gb/timetabledetails/12bf17f8-6477-46f5-91de-841485669887$here">here</a>.A link to more information on the bus can be found <a aria-label="A link to more information on the bus can be found" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://sheffnews.com/news/new-sheffield-connect-city-centre-bus-service-1" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://sheffnews.com/news/new-sheffield-connect-city-centre-bus-service-1$here">here</a>.Consultation on Connecting Sheffield: City Centre ended on 7 January 2021You can now view the consultation report for this scheme &nbsp; <a aria-label="You can now view the consultation report for this scheme" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Connecting%20Sheffield%20City%20Centre%20Consultation%20Report.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/connecting%20sheffield%20city%20centre%20consultation%20report.pdf$here">here</a> .

Alongside projects including Heart of the City, it will form part of the transformation of Sheffield City Centre into a vibrant, dynamic commercial heart of the City and City Region.The proposals aim to improve the City Centre environment by creating new green spaces alongside direct, safe and attractive walking and cycling routes. New bus corridors will simplify routes, allowing buses to cross the City Centre more quickly and avoid congestion hot spots, helping to improve bus service reliability.To illustrate the ambition of the scheme, take a look at the photomontage below which provides an indicative visualisation of Town Hall Square in the City Centre. The slider shows the viewpoint at present compared to the viewpoint after the scheme is delivered.<iframe frameborder="0" class="juxtapose" width="100%" height="580" src="https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index.html?uid=9e1bb644-1dd2-11eb-83c8-ebb5d6f907df" title="cdn-knightlab" data-uw-rm-iframe="gn"></iframe>New Green Public SpacesImproving the number and quality of green spaces in the City Centre is at the heart of the vision for Connecting Sheffield: City Centre . Sheffield is known as &#39;The Outdoor City&#39; for its thriving green spaces and proximity to the world-renowned Peak District National Park. Connecting Sheffield will bring &#39;The Outdoor City into the City&#39;, adding new trees and planting to the street scene of the centre in the same way as has been implemented along West Bar and Castlegate, making key streets more attractive and creating new green public spaces.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,w_1024/v1604415369/projects/connectingsheffield/d54bdb19-149a-4ef3-90f3-d896ae31f51d.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="building" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">Example of a Grey to Green scheme in CastlegateNew runs of planting, greenery and landscaping will be integrated with sustainable urban drainage systems to mitigate against flood risk along Pinstone Street, Furnival Gate, Arundel Gate, Leopold Street, Surrey Street and Rockingham Street, complementing similar improvements already implemented at Charles Street and Charter Square. The plans will also see a new pocket park created where the Furnival Gate roundabout currently sits.The focus on high-quality green spaces will create an improved environment for people to relax, enjoy themselves and spend time, whilst also making the City Centre more vibrant and attractive as a place to visit.<a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201117-TCF%20MAPS%20overview%20plan%20clean.pdf">Click here to view the overall plan to transform the City Centre streets and spaces.</a> New Cycling and Walking Infrastructure&nbsp;New cycle routes will be implemented across the City Centre, alongside the creation of a far better environment for walking. The measures will be integrated with the new green spaces to make it quick and easy to travel around and navigate across the City Centre.The below visualisation shows Arundel Gate where it meets Furnival Gate with increased bus priority alongside a new, improved green walking link and bi-directional cycle route. The slider shows the viewpoint at present compared to how it will look after the scheme is delivered.<iframe frameborder="0" class="juxtapose" width="100%" height="680" src="https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index.html?uid=c25d4e1c-2e5f-11eb-83c8-ebb5d6f907df" title="cdn-knightlab" data-uw-rm-iframe="gn"></iframe>As well as connecting to the existing cycle network in Sheffield , the new City Centre cycling routes will be developed to connect to other new cycle routes which are being brought forward as part of Connecting Sheffield including Nether Edge-City Centre, City Centre-Darnall and Neepsend-Kelham-City Centre. Further information on these new schemes will be brought forward in the coming weeks.These measures will be complemented by the proposed development of a major new cycle storage hub in the City Centre. A cycle storage hub already exists at Sheffield Station, and more hubs are likely to be developed in the future to meet increased demand.By providing high-quality, easily navigable cycle routes to communities living near to the City Centre and Lower Don Valley, we can reduce the number of journeys by car and improve air quality. Improved Public Transport InfrastructureSimplified bus routes across the City Centre will mean bus journeys become quicker and more reliable, helping to attract more people to use public transport.Vehicle access will be removed from Leopold Street (inbound towards the Town Hall) to create the new cycle lanes and walking routes, and Pinstone Street will be pedestrianised from Surrey Street to Cross Burgess Street. Access to the John Lewis car park will be maintained through one-way road access travelling up Pinstone Street from Charter Row via Moorhead. Instead of travelling down Leopold Street and Pinstone Street, buses will travel down an upgraded Rockingham Street bus corridor running along the section between West Street and Wellington Street.The current one way system on Rockingham Street will change. Between West Street and Division Street, the northbound movement will be accommodated in one lane rather than the existing two, as there will be an introduction of a southbound bus lane. The section between Division Street and Wellington Street (shown on the map below) will see new high quality bus stops, paving and greenery implemented as well as improved walking routes. General traffic will be able to travel each direction between Division Street and Devonshire Lane, and then southbound only thereafter to Wellington Street. <a aria-label="s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201112-TCF MAPS_V6.1.1_04.pdf">&nbsp;</a><a aria-label="s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201112-City%20Centre%20Rockingham%20Street.pdf">&nbsp;</a><a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201126%20City%20Centre%20Rockingham%20Street.pdf">Click here to view a larger image of the plans for Rockingham Street shown below. ﻿﻿﻿</a><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1606377992/projects/connectingsheffield/12453eb9-a98d-4829-9ccf-62197e81ce68.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">Buses will have priority access down Furnival Gate which will improve journey times and reliability and allow people to be dropped off in the middle of the city&rsquo;s shopping district. Arundel Gate will remain a major bus corridor serving the city centre. To improve priority for buses, a bus gate will restrict traffic heading towards Castle Square from Furnival Gate. The bus gate will be located after the Novotel Hotel in order to maintain access to the Union Street area. There will be no restriction for traffic in the opposite direction.New bus stops will be introduced at the same place, on opposite sides of the road, for routes running in both directions. This will make bus routes easier to understand and follow.Once the plans have been finalised and work is ready to get underway, information will be shared in advance of any changes to help bus users understand if and how their usual routes will change. &nbsp; <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKSHEFFIELD/subscriber/new?topic_id=UKSHEFFIELD_884">Sign up here to receive travel related updates from Sheffield City Council.</a> Access to the City Centre for cars, vans and taxis&nbsp;The plans for the City Centre are focused on creating a better environment for walking and cycling and improving the public transport network. Although we want to encourage people to leave their car at home and use alternative transport methods where possible, we know this is not always viable.While through traffic will be restricted in some locations, access will be maintained to key car parks. Access will be retained for deliveries for both businesses and residents. Where areas are pedestrianised, this access is likely to be time-restricted as is currently the case for Fargate. The Council is keen to hear from businesses where this may present challenges so that any issues can be considered further as the plans are developed. It is anticipated that the loss of on-street parking will be minimal, although there will be the loss of some spaces along Rockingham Street. There is, however, sufficient capacity in nearby existing car parks.Surrey Street will be closed to cars to prevent access to Pinstone Street. Access will remain along Norfolk Street to allow for deliveries to Surrey Street. The closure of Surrey Street to through traffic will enable the creation of a new pedestrianised area at Town Hall Square.Taxis will still be able to drop off and pick up in all areas where vehicular access is allowed, and blue badge holders will be able to park in any area where specific restrictions do not apply.The maps below highlight some of the key proposed changes to routes in the City Centre.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1606753879/projects/connectingsheffield/475a4ebc-9e07-4dc2-b69e-ee41c09e516c.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="home appliance" data-uw-rm-ima="ai"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,w_1024/v1605869683/projects/connectingsheffield/d7832e20-2b4a-4f38-bff8-9449ded0cd74.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/c_limit,w_1024/v1605869709/projects/connectingsheffield/0e91413a-0f79-49e3-b96c-4971eed7a699.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can also view the pdf of each map and zoom in by clicking on the following links:<a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Leopold%20Street%20to%20Town%20Hall%20Square.pdf">Leopold Street to Town Hall Square</a><a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201112-TCF%20MAPS_Arundel%20Gate%20to%20Charles%20Street.pdf">Arundel Gate to Charles Street</a><a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201112-TCF%20MAPS_Furnival%20Gate.pdf">Furnival Gate</a>-----------------------------To help us to monitor the success of this project we may need to occasionally survey traffic in the area using cameras mounted on lamp posts.

The proposed routes will improve connections between Sheffield and Rotherham and will make it easier for Tinsley residents to walk and cycle to Meadowhall and Meadowhall Interchange for public transport connections.Along Blackburn Meadows Way, where the path is currently shared for walking and cycling on the southern side of this road, separate paths for cycling and walking are proposed. These improvements will make it more convenient and attractive for people to walk or cycle in the area.The maps below show the proposals along Blackburn Meadows Way and highlight the sections where there will be separate footpaths and cycle tracks or shared paths.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613411625/projects/connectingsheffield/ed4fa154-7512-453d-ba3c-d40a9b1eb213.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Meadowhall%20Way%20to%20Blackburn%20Meadows%20Way.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/magna-tinsley%20meadowhall%20way%20to%20blackburn%20meadows%20way.pdf$here">here</a> .<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613411640/projects/connectingsheffield/fc9a8069-fdf4-460a-8a72-233c6ade279f.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Blackburn%20Meadows%20Way.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/magna-tinsley%20blackburn%20meadows%20way.pdf$here">here</a> .The cycle track along Blackburn Meadows Way will then connect into a walking and cycling route on Sheffield Road which will help people to travel more easily between Meadowhall and Rotherham on foot or by cycle.There will be a segregated cycle track - at a level slightly higher than the road - along stretches of this route as highlighted on the maps below. Along the short sections of road where there are multiple accesses for business premises, the cycle track will switch to a segregated cycle lane at the same height as the road. This is to maintain comfort for cyclists along an even and level cycle route at these access points. Priority will be given to cyclists over vehicles needing to cross the cycle lane for access to premises.The illustration below provides an indication of what the changes could look like at the junction where Blackburn Meadows meets Sheffield Road and highlight some of the significant improvements planned for walking and cycling along this route. As part of these works, it is hoped that some new planting and sustainable urban drainage can be added along this section of the route.The slider can be moved to show the viewpoint at present compared to the viewpoint after the scheme is delivered. <iframe frameborder="0" class="juxtapose" width="100%" height="720" src="https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/juxtapose/latest/embed/index.html?uid=9faadda0-6f94-11eb-83c8-ebb5d6f907df" title="cdn-knightlab" data-uw-rm-iframe="gn"></iframe> The maps below provide detail of the proposals for improved walking and cycling routes along Blackburn Meadows Way and Sheffield Road.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613411658/projects/connectingsheffield/3719ee7b-70db-488c-b473-d60fc5852811.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="flyer" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Blackburn%20Meadows%20Way%20to%20Sheffield%20Road.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/magna-tinsley%20blackburn%20meadows%20way%20to%20sheffield%20road.pdf$here">here</a> .<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1613411675/projects/connectingsheffield/ac29443a-2e2e-4363-b612-2563efca142f.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Sheffield%20Road%20to%20Magna.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/magna-tinsley%20sheffield%20road%20to%20magna.pdf$here">here</a> . <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Blackburn%20Meadows%20Way%20to%20Sheffield%20Road.pdf" aria-label="s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a><a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Magna-Tinsley%20Blackburn%20Meadows%20Way%20to%20Sheffield%20Road.pdf" aria-label="s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a> The segregated cycle track and footpath will link up to a similar scheme being delivered by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council which will continue the high-quality route along Sheffield Road from the Sheffield-Rotherham boundary towards Rotherham town centre.Better connections to public transport linksTo improve access to leisure and employment opportunities in Rotherham and Sheffield, the proposals will provide better, safer connections to public transport links.Walking and cycling to Meadowhall Interchange will be made easier, with a new and improved crossing point introduced on Meadowhall Way/Meadowhall Road opposite the Sainsbury&rsquo;s petrol station. This will provide a safer way for people walking or cycling to cross this busy road and access the Transport Interchange.

A new Tram Train stop will provide commuters and Tinsley residents with the opportunity to access employment, retail and leisure facilities in Rotherham, Sheffield and Parkgate. Secure cycle parking facilities are also planned at the proposed stop, as part of the Park and Ride plans.Access around Magna, Tinsley and Meadowhall for cars, vans, taxis and busesThe plans for Connecting Sheffield: Magna-Tinsley aim to create a better environment for walking and cycling, as well as improving connections to public transport. Although we want to encourage people to leave their car at home and use alternative transport methods where possible, we know this is not always viable.This scheme does not incorporate any changes to vehicle routes, so cars, vans, taxis and buses will still be able to access the same routes as now. Although a new toucan crossing is planned across Sheffield Road near Raby Street to provide a safe crossing point for Tinsley residents to access the canal towpath, this will not have an impact on vehicles&rsquo; ability to travel along this stretch of road.A small number of parking bays will be removed on Sheffield Road close to Magna to create the required space for the new high-quality segregated cycle route.---------------------------To help us to monitor the success of this project we may need to occasionally survey traffic in the area using cameras mounted on lamp posts. We need to do this so that we can understand how traffic has been affected by the scheme. For example on certain roads we may wish to understand whether traffic has reduced or increased as a result of the scheme.&nbsp;If you have any queries, concerns or complaints about the way Sheffield City Council processes your personal data, including the way we handle information requests, you can contact our&nbsp;<a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/contact-us">Customer Services</a> or the&nbsp;<a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/utilities/footer-links/privacy-notice">Data Protection Officer</a>.If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are not processing your personal data in accordance with the law you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner&rsquo;s Office.

This would help reduce delays for people travelling on public transport to and from the area.If we&rsquo;re going to tackle climate change and reduce emissions, we need to provide more sustainable options for travel in our city. By making changes to support more reliable public transport services, we can help encourage people to choose this way of getting about instead of using private vehicles.Greater priority for buses would help to reduce congestion, and in turn air pollution. It would also improve access to leisure and work opportunities around Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road, as well as in the city centre and beyond. This scheme ties in with other work we are doing to help improve public transport such as the <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/explore/transport">South Yorkshire Bus Service Improvement Plan</a> .Click <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20D%20-%20Overview%20Map.pdf">here</a> to see a map showing the full extent covered by the project. More detailed maps of key areas where changes are proposed are provided further down this page.What we&rsquo;re proposingWe&rsquo;d like to gather your views on a set of proposals to give buses more priority along Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road. Bus priority systems would be installed at every set of traffic lights along the two bus routes. Buses would be detected on their approach and given a green light so that they can continue through all junctions and crossings. This would help to provide more consistent journey times for people catching the bus. Click <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20E%20-%20Bus%20Priority%20at%20Traffic%20Lights.pdf">here</a> to see a map of the proposed bus priority systems.Alongside bus priority systems, we are also proposing additional improvements to some junctions and roundabouts along Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road to help traffic flow more freely. Details of these changes can be found in the sections further below.We&rsquo;d also like your views on some initial ideas to make changes to bus lane hours of operation, and bus stops, as well as to the way in which parking, waiting, and loading restrictions are enforced. More detailed information is provided on this further down the page.How we&rsquo;re going to engage with local peopleFor this project, we&rsquo;re undertaking two phases of engagement to look at where we can make improvements to our proposals. We are currently asking for feedback on proposals and initial ideas to check we&rsquo;ve considered everything necessary before we undertake a more formal consultation.Below is a timeline which sets out the two phases of consultation, their timescales and what we will be asking for feedback on.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1637081117/projects/connectingsheffield/55c67b02-1436-4722-bfce-495a7c60506a.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="text" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above timeline and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Engagement%20Timeline.pdf">here</a> .Proposals for Abbeydale Road junctionsTo provide more consistent bus journey times along Abbeydale Road, we&rsquo;re proposing improvements to some key junctions. Details of these proposed improvements are provided below.Abbey Lane JunctionTo improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, a short section of the inbound bus lane running between Sherwood Glen and Abbey Lane would be removed and replaced with two general traffic lanes. Fewer cars would need to swap lanes when turning left at this junction, which would make it easier for buses travelling straight ahead. Double yellow lines would also be added inbound between Sherwood Glen and Abbey Lane to ensure the junction operates smoothly.The map below illustrates the measures that would be implemented at this junction.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1636972625/projects/connectingsheffield/28f05aa2-62b8-45da-9eed-779c549897bf.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Timeline.pdf">&nbsp;</a><a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20G%20-%20Abbey%20Lane%20Junction.pdf">﻿ here</a> .Springfield Road JunctionTo help detect buses on the approach to this junction, and give them a green light, we&rsquo;re proposing some changes to the traffic lanes and bus stops located between Knaresborough Road and the Millhouses Pub, in both directions. The inbound bus lane running between Knaresborough Road and Springfield Road would be removed and replaced with two general traffic lanes. This would reduce the need for cars to swap lanes when turning left at this junction, improving traffic flow.So that buses are properly detected and prioritised when passing through the traffic lights, the inbound bus stop and outbound bus stop located closest to the junction would be relocated.The inbound bus stop just before the Springfield Road junction would be relocated to the other side, just in front of Roses The Bakers. The outbound bus stop situated close to Millhouses Post Office would be relocated to just in front of The Millhouses Pub.The centre line of the road would also be adjusted to provide enough room for vehicles to pass any buses that are waiting at the bus stops &ndash; helping to maintain the flow of general traffic.Finally, to further reduce hold ups for buses, double yellow lines would be added in places along both sides of the road between the Knaresborough Road junction and the Hutchinson Road junction. These are either at side road junctions or where the bus stop clearway is being removed (because the bus stop is moving). Loading restrictions would remain as they are currently (between 7.30am and 9.30am, and between 4pm and 6.30pm).The map below illustrates the measures that would be implemented at this junction.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1636972694/projects/connectingsheffield/361d4359-25e1-470a-81e5-11fb42d13c12.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20F%20-%20Springfield%20Road%20Junction.pdf">here</a> .Tesco Junction&nbsp;So that bus journeys are not affected by traffic entering or leaving Tesco, a segregated bus lane would be added to bypass the traffic lights. The bus lane would run from just after the junction with Hastings Road down to the junction with Bannerdale Road.To enable the new layout at this junction, the pedestrian crossing located just before the access road to Tesco would also be relocated to just before the junction with Holt House Grove.The map below illustrates the measures that would be implemented at this junction.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1636972783/projects/connectingsheffield/d9cdfb7c-c55e-47e5-b411-a98c57a4cb8c.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="traffic light" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20B%20-%20Tesco%20Junction.pdf">here</a> .Bannerdale Road JunctionTo make it safer for people trying to cross the road at this junction, the traffic lights located at all four approaches to the junction would be upgraded to become controlled pedestrian crossings. This means that people would be able to press a button to cross the road.A new controlled exit for traffic leaving St Peter and St Oswald&#39;s church would also be put in place, with new traffic lights added.The two inbound lanes running between Archer Road and Troutbeck Road would be widened so that there is more space for buses and cars. To accommodate this change, new parking restrictions are proposed outbound along a section of this stretch of road. Parking and waiting would be restricted at all times, while current loading restrictions 07.30 - 09.30 / 16.00 - 18.30 would remain in place.The outbound bus stop currently located just after the Bannerdale Road junction would also be relocated to just before the access road to Tesco. This has to be done to enable the new layout at Bannerdale Road and the Tesco junction.The map below illustrates the measures that would be implemented at this junction.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1636972853/projects/connectingsheffield/a0e34b15-5f75-4c64-b3cb-5469137e6d40.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="road" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20A%20-%20Bannerdale%20Road%20Junction.pdf">here</a> .St Mary&rsquo;s GateWe&rsquo;re also proposing to change the crossing close to Boston Street on London Road so that pedestrians can cross the road in one go without needing to wait in the middle.Proposals for Ecclesall Road roundaboutsTo provide more consistent journey times along Ecclesall Road, we&rsquo;re proposing to make improvements at two key roundabouts: Moore Street and Hunters Bar. Details of these proposed improvements are provided below.Hunters Bar RoundaboutTo allow a smoother flow of traffic between Hunters Bar roundabout and Rustlings Road, we&rsquo;re proposing some changes to the bus lanes and bus stops along this stretch.The outbound bus lane would be removed and replaced with two general traffic lanes to reduce the need for cars switching lanes immediately when coming off the roundabout onto Ecclesall Road. This would help to reduce congestion and queueing back on to the roundabout.The outbound bus stop located just after the roundabout would be removed to further assist the smooth flow of traffic progressing from the roundabout. Alternative bus stops are available nearby. All the buses which currently use this bus stop also stop in front of Trinity United Reformed Church opposite Rustlings Road (130m away). They also already stop either on Ecclesall Road at Neill Road (150m away) or at the bottom of Brocco Bank (130m away).The inbound bus stop located here, in front of the Hallamshire Tennis and Squash Club, would be relocated a little further back along the road, so that it sits closer to the entrance to Endcliffe Park. We would create a layby for buses stopping to pick up and set down passengers, so that they don&rsquo;t hold up general traffic. The relocated bus stop would continue to serve all the bus services that use the existing stop.A pedestrian crossing (dropped kerbs and tactile paving) would be provided across the top of Rustlings Road. This would allow pedestrians to cross this wide junction more easily, providing safer access to Endcliffe Park, the relocated bus stop and for walking along Ecclesall Road.The proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1637319416/projects/connectingsheffield/7eb681e8-e243-48f3-ab1b-5ac1c231e7e0.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20H%20-%20Hunters%20Bar%20Roundabout%20and%20Rustlings%20Road%20Junction.pdf">here</a> .Moore Street RoundaboutA pre-signal priority system would be installed just before the roundabout to allow buses to approach it ahead of the general traffic.As part of the Connecting Sheffield: Nether Edge &ndash; City Centre project, changes are proposed to the central reserve at the crossing in front of the LIV student accommodation. If these changes go ahead, the inbound bus stop and existing cycle exit would be relocated to allow for this.The map below illustrates the measures that would be implemented at this roundabout.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1636977444/projects/connectingsheffield/6ed87247-8197-4daa-b0c7-34e172329653.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking &nbsp; <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/Map%20C%20-%20Moore%20Street%20Roundabout.pdf">here</a> .Initial ideas for further changes to Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road&nbsp;As well as the proposals we&rsquo;ve outlined above, we&rsquo;ve also got some initial ideas around changes to bus stops, bus lane hours of operation and the enforcement of parking, waiting and loading restrictions.We are seeking your views now to inform a formal consultation in 2022.Changes to bus lane hours of operation&nbsp;We&rsquo;re also looking into various options to provide more consistent bus journey times outside of the traditional peak hours, as delays at other times can have a severe impact on bus travel. We&rsquo;re considering extending the current bus lane operating hours along Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road and we&rsquo;d like to find out what people think of 12-hour bus lanes, operating from 7am to 7pm. We&rsquo;d also like to know your views on bus lanes operating on Saturdays and Sundays to help address congestion issues at the weekend.We will use the outcome of this initial stage of consultation, along with other research, to bring forward options to extend bus lane hours for consultation at a later date, in 2022.Any changes to the bus lane operating hours would impact on parking &ndash; we are currently undertaking surveys to help us determine what that impact would be.Upgrades to bus stopsWe&rsquo;re also considering upgrading bus stops along Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road to provide a more pleasant environment for people waiting to catch the bus.These improvements could mean the removal of a handful of parking spaces in some locations. Some of the plans for bus stop improvements are dependent on bus lane operating hours and would be consulted on alongside that at a later date, in 2022.The proposed upgrades under consideration could include:<ul><li>making the area where buses pull in at bus stops larger so that they have more space to stop</li><li>adding some shelters to improve the experience for bus users</li><li>providing clearer and more visible boarding points for people waiting to get on a bus</li></ul>Please do let us know where you think bus stops could be improved and how.Changes to the enforcement of parking, waiting and loading restrictionsThe third change that we are considering is replacing yellow lines with red lines along sections of Abbeydale Road and Ecclesall Road. These are called red routes. You may well have seen them elsewhere but, at the moment, they are not much used in Sheffield.The difference between red lines and the traditional yellow lines is that they enable more effective enforcement of parking restrictions through the use of cameras.The details of possible locations for red lines would be considered following this engagement period and would be consulted on formally through a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) at a later date, in 2022.Share your viewsPlease share your feedback on these proposals and initial ideas by completing the survey below. You can use the freeform box at the end of the survey to provide additional comments on any of the questions.------------------------------To help us to monitor the success of this project we plan to survey traffic in the area using cameras mounted on lamp posts. We need to do this so that we can understand how traffic has been affected by the scheme. For example, on certain roads we may wish to understand whether traffic has reduced or increased as a result of the scheme.&nbsp;If you have any queries, concerns or complaints about the way Sheffield City Council processes your personal data, including the way we handle information requests, you can contact our <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/contact-us">Customer Services</a> or the <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/utilities/footer-links/privacy-notice">Data Protection Officer</a>.If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are not processing your personal data in accordance with the law you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner&rsquo;s Office. <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/201112-TCF%20MAPS_V6.1.1_02.pdf" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a>

The enhanced cycle route being proposed would run from the City Centre to Woodseats Road via Shoreham Street and Little London Road. We are now consulting on our proposals for this scheme and would like to hear your views.The proposals for this scheme have been developed based on the potential for people to use the route and the opportunities the route offers to access employment, training and education.The proposals for the Sheaf Valley Cycle Route would connect into existing cycle infrastructure around Pond Hill, improving links to Sheffield Midland Train Station and Sheffield Hallam University&rsquo;s City Centre campus. They would also connect to the cycle routes incorporated in the Grey 2 Green project running between Victoria Quays and West Bar &ndash; leading to proposed largely segregated cycle routes to Attercliffe and Darnall, to Kelham and Neepsend, and around the city centre. These have been recently consulted on as part of Connecting Sheffield.Developing an improved and safer cycle route in this location would assist people who currently cycle, encourage increased take up of cycling, and potentially lead to fewer car journeys, helping to reduce congestion and improve air quality for everyone.By improving the route, we can encourage people who have taken up cycling recently to continue cycling as part of their everyday lives, and enable others to join them. More short journeys to local centres and other facilities could be made without the use of a car, improving the environment for local people along the route.What does the route look like?The proposals for this route include a series of improvements that would make cycling from the City Centre to Woodseats Road via Little London Road a safer, easier and more attractive option. There are six areas where works would take place to deliver the improved cycle route if funding allows.Click <a aria-label="Click" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/398.4%20City%20centre%20cycle%20map.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/398.4%20city%20centre%20cycle%20map.pdf$here">here</a> &nbsp; to see a map showing the full extent of this scheme. More detailed maps of key areas where changes are proposed are provided further down this page.Pond HillStarting from the city centre, the scheme would use an existing cycle route which currently runs along Sheaf Street to where it meets the junction with Pond Hill. A separate cycle crossing would be added at the Pond Hill/Sheaf Street junction and a short section of two-way cycle track would be added to link the new crossing to Concourse Way.Along Pond Hill, once the final phase of Sheffield Hallam&rsquo;s digital campus is complete, there would be a one-way contraflow track towards the bus station entrance and Sheffield Hallam University. Cyclists heading down Pond Hill towards Sheaf Street would use the carriageway. To accommodate the new three-metre-wide cycle track, Pond Hill would be reduced to one lane for motor traffic.These proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626273438/projects/connectingsheffield/ce387e72-7f4e-4ced-a61d-af4e768973b1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="qr code" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._01.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_atf%20maps%20phase%202_v3.2._01.pdf$here">here</a> .Following Concourse Way, the main cycle track would then re-join Sheaf Street at the Harmer Lane junction and continue to the train station.From Sheaf Street opposite the train station, the route would cross a shared public space to connect with Paternoster Row, Sidney Street, Matilda Street, and then onto Shoreham Street.Shoreham StreetThe existing signal controlled right turn for cyclists from Matilda Street onto Shoreham Street would be segregated from general traffic to make the route safer and the existing one-way cycle route along Shoreham Street would be widened to three metres and would become a two-way cycle route. A new signal controlled right turn from the new cycle track onto Matilda Street would be introduced.On the approach to the crossing at St Mary&rsquo;s Gate, the cycle track would become shared use for a short section. Where Shoreham Street meets St. Mary&rsquo;s Road, an improved two-way cycle crossing over the inner ring road would provide more space for cyclists and pedestrians and would connect directly to the continuation of the two-way cycle route along Shoreham Street. To facilitate the new two-way cycle track, motor vehicles would no longer be able to turn left from St Mary&rsquo;s Road into Shoreham Street. The alternative route would be via Edmund Road.These proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626256241/projects/connectingsheffield/7a639b10-17d8-4463-ac9b-c2659c3cd78b.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="scooter" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._02.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_atf%20maps%20phase%202_v3.2._02.pdf$here">here</a>Once across St Mary&rsquo;s Road further improvements for cyclists would be seen along Shoreham Street until just past Charlotte Road. The exit from Clough Street onto Shoreham Street would be closed to motor traffic on the side which the cycle track would run down.To create the new three-metre-wide two-way cycle track along this section of Shoreham Street, all of the parking bays on Shoreham Street between Charlotte Road and St Mary&rsquo;s Road would need to be removed. Continuous footways/cycleways would run across access to premises such as the Shoreham Street Surgery to give priority to cyclists and pedestrians but would still allow vehicle access.The roundabout at Shoreham Street/Charlotte Road would be removed so that Shoreham Street, and the cycle track running along it, run continuously. The junction of Shoreham Street and Charlotte Street (the section from Queens Road to Shoreham Street) would become a T-junction with a pedestrian island incorporated near the junction on Charlotte Road to allow pedestrians to cross.On the opposite side of Charlotte Street and where John Street meets Shoreham Street, access to Shoreham Street would be closed to motor vehicles. Instead, the road would be widened at this location to connect Charlotte Street and John Street, creating a loop that would allow access from John Street and Clough Road. The existing pedestrian crossings around this location on Shoreham Street would remain and be improved for cyclists to use alongside those on foot.These proposals are shown on the map below. <a href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._02.pdf" aria-label="s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626256271/projects/connectingsheffield/ea5fb194-2150-4363-ad69-18cf9f689718.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._03.pdf">here .</a>Cherry StreetThe cycle route would then continue along Shoreham Street. Cherry Street would be closed to motor vehicles at the junction with Shoreham Street using planters and removable bollards. This closure would reduce traffic flow on Shoreham Street making it suitable as a cycle route. The measures would be temporary to test how they work, and the bollards would be removed on match days to enable coach access to the football ground at Bramall Lane.These proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626273422/projects/connectingsheffield/87336816-dd45-4205-b4e5-15c94f225e2c.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a aria-label="You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._04.pdf" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_atf%20maps%20phase%202_v3.2._04.pdf$here">here.</a>Asline RoadThe route would then turn up an existing section of the route shared by cyclists and pedestrians along the bottom of Alderson Road, which runs through Lowfield Park to connect into Asline Road. On Asline Road the existing cycle track would be widened to create a three-metre-wide two-way cycle track. The island currently positioned in the cycle track along Asline Road would be removed. The route would then lead onto London Road.As part of the scheme there would also be consideration of how the cycle track could be protected from illegal parking on double yellow lines around Lowfield Primary School at pick up and drop off times.These proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626255358/projects/connectingsheffield/f3a69145-0dba-4e28-a568-1c91795fe044.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._05.pdf">here .</a>London Road to Little London Road&nbsp;Cyclists would then use the existing crossing on London Road to follow the route onto Glover Road and then up to Staveley Road. Proposed traffic signals at the junction of Staveley and Wolseley Road would help cyclists to cross Wolseley Road more safely.From the junction of Staveley Road and Chippinghouse Road (Chippinghouse Road is already closed at its junction with London Road, reducing traffic in the area) the cycle route continues in its current form, off road, to connect across Broadfield Road to Saxon Road.On Saxon Road, which has low levels of traffic, double yellow lines would be introduced to prevent parking and waiting, make cycling here safer.The route would then proceed onto a shared use footpath by the railway which heads around the side of the Virgin Gym towards Little London Road.Little London RoadOn Little London Road double yellow lines would be added to prevent parking and waiting which would ensure the cycle route along the road is clear for cyclists to use and make cycling safer. The road under the railway bridge near to the junction with Rydal Road would be closed to through motor traffic to create a low traffic environment south of the railway bridge towards Woodseats Road.The existing point closure on Rydal Road would be moved to sit between the junctions of Langdale Road and Rydal Crescent. A turning area for vehicles would be created on the Little London Road side of this closure to allow traffic travelling down Little London Road to turn around.These proposals are shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1626255446/projects/connectingsheffield/31ed5abe-b8e2-4ebe-8455-8dcdf5a49627.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plot" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">You can view a pdf of the above map and zoom in by clicking <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/210708_ATF%20MAPS%20PHASE%202_V3.2._06.pdf">here .</a>Hackthorn RoadUnder these proposals, changes would also be made to Hackthorn Road. Motor vehicles would no longer be able to access Hackthorn Road from Scarsdale Road. Left and right turns out of Hackthorn Road into Scarsdale Road would still be allowed. The Broxholme Road, Aisthorpe Road and Nettleham Road junctions would remain as they are now.The proposed change is shown on the map below.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1627660908/projects/connectingsheffield/b10e254e-6a9e-46bf-b402-886f552fce56.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai"> Please let us know your views of these proposals by completing the feedback form below.If you currently use the Sheaf Valley cycle route and would like to take part in an additional survey to help us to monitor and evaluate the impact of any works which are implemented along the route as a result of this consultation, please follow this <a aria-label="If you currently use the Sheaf Valley cycle route and would like to take part in an additional survey to help us to monitor and evaluate the impact of any works which are implemented along the route as a result of this consultation, please follow this" data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/QWTTSC2" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/qwttsc2$link">&nbsp;link</a> to complete a small number of additional questions.

This change means that traffic will now only be able to turn right out of Langdale Road. Since the closure of Little London Road to motor traffic, there have been numerous reports of drivers routinely abusing the one way restriction by using it in the opposite direction. This is causing risk to all road users in the area which needs to be addressed. The plan below shows the planned change.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1658741944/projects/connectingsheffield/94bb57e1-ea3e-48cb-8a52-96adfe7ab055.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii" alt="landscape" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">Sheaf Valley Cycle RouteA list of Frequently Asked Questions about this scheme can be found <a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/commonplace-customer-assets/connectingsheffield/FINAL%20Sheaf%20Valley%20Cycle%20Route%20FAQs.pdf">here</a> .﻿We are planning to put in place measures to create the Sheaf Valley Cycle Route following the consultation that was carried out in 2021.

About

About Connecting Sheffield

Over the past few decades, most of our road network and transport infrastructure has been designed for car-use rather than for walking, cycling and travel by public transport. Connecting Sheffield will change this.Take a look at this short animated film which explains more about the project:<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/465049184?h=9153216633" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><a href="https://vimeo.com/465049184">Connecting Sheffield</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user124496000">SheffieldCityCouncil</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.We want people to be able to confidently make the choice to travel by bike and on foot, and to be able to use a reliable public transport service.Connecting Sheffield is focused on improving infrastructure to attract more people onto public transport, and to use cycling and walking to get about. This will help to reduce congestion and improve the environment for everyone.Some of the key aims of Connecting Sheffield are to:<ul><li>Significantly improve bus infrastructure on key routes. The aim is to make key bus routes faster and more reliable and to create a public transport network that works for everyone.</li><li>Create safe cycle routes.&nbsp;We will transform the city&rsquo;s cycling infrastructure by delivering easy-to-follow, largely segregated cycle ways from the city centre to inner city neighbourhoods and key employment areas. These routes will be designed to make cycling safe and a more attractive option, particularly for shorter journeys.</li><li>Make it far easier to walk.

Abbey Lane Crossing

Detailed plan for the Abbey Lane Crossing

IntroductionConsultation on the Abbey Lane Crossing proposals will be open until Friday 21st October.Ecclesall Woods, and the Woodland Centre are much loved attractions used by people living in the area and across the city. The number of visitors that they attract mean that there has been a number of requests to improve how the woods and other facilities can be accessed, especially when it comes to crossing Abbey Lane (B6068).Abbey Lane experiences a lot of traffic and this makes crossing to the woods, the Woodland Centre, and beyond difficult. That is why we have started the work needed to progress on the proposals that would improve the crossings and other traffic related issues in the area.&nbsp;Identifying the NeedsTo help shape our proposals numerous site visits have taken place, there have been discussions with Councillors, we have received informal feedback, and more recently there was a local a Petition.What has been observed and fed back is the following:<ul><li>That there is a preference for a number of pedestrian refuge islands, rather than one controlled crossing. The arrangement of the Abbey Lane/Whirlowdale Road junction also requires some changes, to both improve pedestrian movements and reduce vehicle speeds through the junction.</li><li>There was clear evidence of inconsiderate and verge parking, particularly at busy times and when events were organised at the Woodland Centre.</li><li>There is a perceived speeding issue caused by the volume and flow of traffic, which needs to be investigated. A classified vehicle count and speed survey has been completed, to which average speeds are consistent with the 40mph speed limit and both the flow and mix of traffic is suitable for a B road. However, the request to promote a lower speed limit will be considered as part of the design.</li><li>Coach parking for the woodland centre and disabled parking for the Bridleway was also raised and is included in the proposals.</li></ul>Scheme ProposalThe proposals were developed using the requirements outlined previously.&nbsp;The proposed changes are in the map below.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1660906147/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/gfk8evspmky0skoj3wpi.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Map of the proposals in and around the Abbey Lane area" data-uw-rm-ima-original="map of the proposals in and around the abbey lane area">To view a more detailed plan of the scheme, please <a aria-label="For a more detailed plan of the scheme, please ​ click here ​​​" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1663848895/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/Abbey%20Ln%20Design_June22-Proposed.pdf/w4ee4xhgfcp97sbwugb0.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1663848895/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/abbey%20ln%20design_june22-proposed.pdf/w4ee4xhgfcp97sbwugb0.pdf$clickhere" uw-rm-vague-link-id="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1663848895/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/abbey%20ln%20design_june22-proposed.pdf/w4ee4xhgfcp97sbwugb0.pdf$click here">click here</a>The proposals are explained in more detail below:Crossing Points &ndash; the pedestrian refuges proposed will align with the current footpaths and bridleways across Abbey Lane and will be located in a position to minimise the impact on existing trees and vegetation. This will be subject to detailed to design. The crossing points will have the appropriate signing, highway lining and lighting fittings.Junction Re-alignment &ndash; The scheme will not be altering the prioritisation of the Whirlowdale Road/Abbey Lane junction. The current &lsquo;give way&rsquo; arrangement will remain the same. However, there will be changes to the junction alignment to shorten the walking distance and improve pedestrian visibility and driver awareness. Tactile paving will be provided to ensure access for all. The proposal will also introduce speed cushions into the junction approach to help control speeds and a new traffic island on the approach to Abbey Lane (north section) to help manage the traffic at the right turn to Abbey Lane that backs into the right turn for Whirlowdale Road.Formalised Parking&nbsp;&ndash; formalised parking will be providing on both sides of Abbey Lane. This is to help prevent the verge parking that currently occurs near the Woodland Centre. The parking will also be situated around the crossing points to help control crossing movements to the refuges. We are also exploring the opportunity for disabled only parking bays.Coach Provision &ndash; Coach parking/school trip parking is proposed near the Woodland Centre. This is to help promote the education aspect to Ecclesall Woods and Woodland Centre by making it safer and easier to accommodate larger transport vehicles.Speed Limit Reduction (this would be Phase 2) &ndash; Once the other elements are in place, we would then seek to undertake a review of the interventions and how these have impacted on observed speeds. Should these interventions manage to control the speeds, we will seek to progress a speed limit reduction from the current 40mph to 30mph. This would be between the junction with Abbey Lane and Whirlowdale Road, to the existing 30mph at Abbey Croft, down to Beauchief Crossroads.Next StepsThe first step is to find out what you think through the short survey below. Comments can also be sent to <a data-uw-rm-brl="exc" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="mailto:transport@sheffield.gov.uk">transport@sheffield.gov.uk</a>. This feedback will help finalise the future scheme design.Various statutory procedures will also need to be completed, including a Road Safety Audit and the formal Traffic Regulation Order process.

Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood: October 2022 - April 2023

CROOKES AND WALKLEY ACTIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD

UPDATE 07 MARCH 2023Following the permanent removal of the diagonal closures on Springvale Road, we have been reviewing the measures which had been implemented to work in conjunction with the diagonal closures. These measures are:<ul type="disc"><li>A one-way restriction between Mona Road and Melbourn Road</li><li>The extension of double yellow lines around side roads at the junctions of Springvale Road/ Western Road and Springvale Road/Cobden View Road.&nbsp;</li></ul>Traffic monitoring data we have collected so far has shown a large reduction in traffic using Springvale Road as a result of the one-way restriction. However, there are also around 100 vehicles per day which are abusing the one-way restriction which creates a safety risk. In addition, observation and feedback from local residents indicates that there has been a significant increase in traffic on Melbourn Road as a result of the one-way restriction on Springvale Road.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the review, we have concluded that the extended double yellow lines and one-way restriction should be removed from the scheme.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will be conducting more traffic monitoring later in March which will allow us to assess the effects of removing the one-way restriction on the road on local traffic flows. This information will allow us to make an informed recommendation on these measures as part of our report to the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Change Committee to inform the decision-making process. A decision on the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood is expected to be made in summer 2023 by that committee.The extended double yellow<s>&nbsp;</s>lines will be returned to the extents described in the original permanent Traffic Regulation Order which will return spaces for on-street parking and provide adequate road space for large vehicles navigating around the junctions.A couple of the double yellow lines were not marked to the correct extent outlined in the permanent Traffic Regulation Order before we introduced the scheme and were a few metres short. The image below shows the extents of the double yellow lines outlined in the permanent Traffic Regulation Order. These are the lengths they will be returned to. This should not significantly affect the amount of on-street parking provision.We have also reviewed the double yellow lines which were implemented around the junction of Sackville Road/Romsdal Road following the removal of the planters on Sackville Road.&nbsp;Following this review, we have concluded that some of the double yellow lines around this junction should remain during the decision-making process as they aid access and visibility in this area, particularly for larger vehicles like bin lorries. However, the double yellow lines on the eastern side opposite the junction on Romsdal Road/Sackville Road can be removed which will return spaces for on-street parking but still provide adequate road space for those larger vehicles. &nbsp;A long term decision on all of the double yellow lines around this junction will be made by the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Change Committee alongside the other measures which form part of the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood.We will remove the double yellow lines on Springvale Road/Western Road/Codben View Road, the double yellow lines opposite the junction of Romsdal Road/Sackville Road and the one-way restriction in the coming weeks along with the associated signage. Once we have a removal date confirmed, we will post a further update on this website.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1678194425/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/j0mroyiffbfidoahi1u0.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii" role="presentation" data-uw-rm-ima="hd"> UPDATE 06 MARCH 2023Thank you for all your questions, comments and feedback over the course of the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood trial. The period for accepting feedback has now ended.Now that the trial period is complete, there will be a formal review of the trial by the Council&rsquo;s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee as to which elements of the scheme should stay in place and which should be removed or changed. This decision is expected to be made in summer 2023.UPDATE 23 FEBRUARY 2023Further to the update below, we would like to clarify that the diagonal closures on Springvale Road have been removed and will not be put back in place as part of the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood trial.UPDATE 20 FEBRUARY 2023On 8 February 2023, we put in place diagonal closures on Springvale Road using small spaced islands. These measures were planned as part of the Active Neighbourhood trial. They were designed to restrict the amount of through traffic on Springvale Road to create a nicer environment for residents and to make it more attractive for walking and cycling.&nbsp;Council Officers and local Ward Councillors were on site when the closures were put in place and they then stayed on site for a period of approximately two hours between 2pm and 4pm, which included school pick up time, to observe how these closures were received and how well they worked and to speak to local residents.&nbsp;During this observation period some situations arose where vehicles couldn&rsquo;t easily pass each other at the junction and were unable to turn around or easily find a place to pull into. This was due to a number of factors including the existing junction layout, vehicles being parked on double yellow lines and both sides of the road being full of parked cars with very limited opportunities for vehicles to pass each other. The issue was compounded by some drivers not observing signage, but led to some vehicles mounting the pavement to pass each other. This is not something that was wanted. Although this issue could have been mitigated in part by extra lengths of double yellow lines, the scheme design had always tried to minimise the loss of parking in an area with high parking demand. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;The junction had to be re-opened a couple of times to allow vehicles who were struggling to pass each other to pass through and a decision was made by Council Officers in discussion with the Ward Councillors who were on site. As the situation had occurred a number of times during a short period of observation, it was felt that the closure could not be left in place without the risk of vehicles mounting the footway.&nbsp;We recognise that the observation period was short and that a longer period of time is always needed to allow drivers to get used to changes to road layouts and for travel habits to change, however, removing the closure immediately was the responsible thing to do to ensure safety.&nbsp;Since the first measures were put in place to create the Active Neighbourhood, we have been listening to feedback, making some changes and considering other changes to the scheme to improve its effectiveness for those living and working in the area. We will continue to do this. This will include reviewing the ongoing need for the &lsquo;one way&rsquo; section on Springvale Road and the lengths of double yellow lines around the Springvale Road/Western Road and Cobden View Road junctions.&nbsp;Everything that we are learning during this process will be fed into the formal review of the scheme by the Council&rsquo;s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Change Committee which will make a decision as to which elements of the trial should stay in place and which should be removed or changed. This decision is expected to be made in summer 2023. UPDATE 31 JANUARY 2023As we let you know in December, we will be putting the diagonal closures on Springvale Road back in place using small spaced islands across the junctions. The image below provides an indication of what these will look like.The diagonal closures are scheduled to be put in place on Wednesday 8th February and will be monitored closely.&nbsp; UPDATE 20 DECEMBER 2022Following the removal of the temporary diagonal closures on Springvale Road due to incidents of vehicles driving on pavements to get around them, we have been looking at solutions to reinstate the closures in a more robust way, so that the trial period can be completed and that roads and pavements are safer for all.Next StepsWe will be putting the diagonal closures back in place using small islands spaced across the junction. The image below provides an indication of what this will look like, though the gaps between the islands will be smaller than those shown. We have used similar materials around the city before. Due to supply chain delays, these measures will not be put in place until January 2023.Bollards will also be added to the pavements alongside the diagonal closures. The pavements will still be wide enough for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users, but vehicles will not be able to mount the pavement to get around the measures.A concrete barrier will be placed behind the planters on Matlock Road to reinforce this closure following further incidents of vandalism. Again, this reinforcement will ensure that there is enough space for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users but that cars cannot mount the pavement around the planters.BenefitsThe combination of new islands and bollards will ensure that access can be retained for larger vehicles when they are turning at the junctions, that the measures cannot be moved or removed, and that using the pavement is not an option for drivers trying to avoid the measures.The measures which are being implemented on Springvale Road aim to restrict the amount of through traffic in Crookes, making the area safer and more attractive for walking and cycling and more pleasant for residents.

Black and yellow signage will be in place directly around the measures and along routes where motorists will meet measures such as planters and bollards which will change the route they need to take, such as at the bottom of Western Road and Cobden View Road and at both ends of Springvale Road. This additional signage will help to prevent confusion around the measures regarding the flow of traffic and priorities at junctions.TimescalesWe will continue to accept comments on the scheme until 3rd March 2023. A permanent decision on the scheme will be made by the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Change Committee in summer 2023 and the measures will remain in place until that decision is taken.<img border="0" width="491" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1671548771/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/ghsd4apfqgqvnh7ag0ok.png" alt="A picture containing text, road, outdoor, way

description automatically generated"> UPDATE 10TH NOVEMBER 2022Thank you for all of your comments and feedback which we have received over the last couple of weeks since we announced the amendments to the scheme and extension of the trial period.Unfortunately, since the latest measures were put in place, we have been alerted to some serious incidents on Springvale Road and Matlock Road where cars have been driven over the pavement in order to get around the measures rather than follow the new road layouts which the measures are creating. This behaviour is illegal and it is putting local residents in danger.The measures which were put in place have been designed by experienced transport planners to create a neighbourhood which is quieter, safer and more pleasant to live in. The emergency services and refuse collection services have been consulted to ensure that access can be retained.Cars mounting pavements is creating a risk to safety. As a result of this behaviour we are pausing the scheme on Springvale Road for one week and will then replace the current measures with more robust measures which will ensure that cars will no longer be able to bypass them and put people at risk.&nbsp;We will be reinforcing the measures on Matlock Road this week so that closure to through traffic will remain in place.If you would like to share any feedback on the scheme, please complete the feedback form at the bottom of this page.We will continue to update this page with further information as it becomes available.

Introduction

All of us want to live on streets that are safe for pedestrians, drivers and cyclists. We want streets where children are safe to play out and that aren&rsquo;t busy cut-throughs. That&rsquo;s why the Active Neighbourhood trial was established, to try out ideas for how to make streets more liveable.In 2021 we asked what you thought an Active Neighbourhood in Crookes and Walkley could look like. You told us that you wanted to see changes made in your area such as less traffic, safer streets for walking, and a nicer place to spend time outside. The link to the consultation and final report can be found <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/proposals/crookes-active-neighbourhood/step1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.In April 2022, changes were introduced in Crookes and Walkley to create an Active Neighbourhood. The changes were advertised through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) and an update was added to Commonplace to share details of the changes that would be made to the local area. You can visit the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood April 2022 update page <a data-uw-rm-brl="pending" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/crookes-and-walkley-active-neighbourhood-update-april-2022/step1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.Introducing road closures, crossings, and one-way systems to create the Active Neighbourhood through an ETRO has allowed us to put changes in place on a trial basis while giving local people the opportunity to comment and provide feedback throughout a six-month period of consultation.Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to provide their feedback to us via email, phone or in person at one of the drop-in events we held.Since the first measures were put in place, we have been reviewing feedback on an on-going basis, making some changes and considering other changes to the scheme to improve its effectiveness for those living and working in the area. We are now in a position to provide a detailed update on the next steps for the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood.

Completing the measures and extending the trial period

We recognise that not having all of the Active Neighbourhood measures in place and not being able to let people know when changes would be happening has created more uncertainty for local people over the past few months.&nbsp;We are planning to put in place all remaining measures by the end of November 2022 and we are extending the period for accepting comments on the Active Neighbourhood scheme until 3rd March 2023.&nbsp;Fully implementing the Active Neighbourhood measures will allow residents and businesses to properly experience how the Active Neighbourhood works in its entirety and will also allow the trial to be monitored during the winter months, something which has been requested through feedback we have received from a number of respondents.&nbsp;The maps below show which measures will be going in as part of the extended trial period.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666366963/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/hcxeg8huikymip4kpvpe.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" data-uw-rm-ima="hd">To view this map as a pdf, click&nbsp;<a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367316/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/221021_Crookes%20Active%20travel%20map%201.pdf/zcq0qxfcwbhnar0810j1.pdf" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666366988/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/jzblanmhqnw1catwthoo.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" data-uw-rm-ima="hd">To view this map as a pdf click&nbsp;<a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367316/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/221021_Crookes%20Active%20travel%20map%202.pdf/inzd2lhtci8arowmciov.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

Explaining the measures

We have created a document that provides an explanation about each of the measures which make up the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood. This includes some measures which are no longer part of the scheme following feedback on how the Active Neighbourhood works. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1665577626/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/ih5lsne4by1al73es2lq.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="cover page of summary document" data-uw-rm-ima-original="cover page of summary document"> To view the document in full as a PDF, please click&nbsp;<a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1665569402/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/Crookes%20and%20Walkley%20Active%20Neighbourhood%20Rationale%20Document.pdf/kwtmyucfoyyuaj0y11kx.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367387/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/220920_Crookes%20and%20Walkley%20Active%20Neighbourhood%20Rationale%20Document_V1.10%20%281%29.pdf/bq0ewvqvrbmyhcbgztjk.pdf" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl="" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc=""></a><a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367387/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/220920_Crookes%20and%20Walkley%20Active%20Neighbourhood%20Rationale%20Document_V1.10%20%281%29.pdf/bq0ewvqvrbmyhcbgztjk.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;

School Street

As part of the Active Neighbourhood, a &lsquo;School Street&rsquo; has been trialled over the past few months. The school street trial will continue with some adjustments which are being made in response to feedback from Westways Primary School as well as from local residents.&nbsp;On 20th October a new, standalone Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) was published to enable changes to be made on Mona Road to help the existing School Street at Westways Primary School to work more safely. The six-month period to comment on this new ETRO will end in April 2023. You can view the ETRO on Sheffield City Council&rsquo;s website <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads-pavements/traffic-orders" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;Mona Avenue has already become a one-way street through the installation of planters, road traffic signs and road markings. There will now also be a short section of one way introduced on Mona Road, between Mona Avenue and Springvale Road.As School Street closures rely on staffing of movable barriers by the school, introducing the one-way street on Mona Road means that there will only be one location where the barrier needs to be operated, rather than two.Details of these measures can also be viewed <a aria-label="here - opens in new tab" data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367387/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/220920_Crookes%20and%20Walkley%20Active%20Neighbourhood%20Rationale%20Document_V1.10%20%281%29.pdf/bq0ewvqvrbmyhcbgztjk.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367387/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/220920_crookes%20and%20walkley%20active%20neighbourhood%20rationale%20document_v1.10%20%281%29.pdf/bq0ewvqvrbmyhcbgztjk.pdf$here">here</a>.

Timescales

The table below outlines the planned programme of works to complete the Active Neighbourhood:<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1666367665/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/gwwy4d9dyuzaay7gj073.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil" data-uw-rm-ima="ai-w">Keeping to the above programme relies on our ability to implement double yellow lines along the corners of roads where planters would go to ensure there is enough space for vehicles to turn around and to ensure vehicles don&rsquo;t block the space between planters for pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users to get through. It has taken much longer than planned to get yellow lines painted in some places, and has still not been possible in a few locations, due to parked vehicles.In advance of the remaining double yellow lines being painted on roads, &lsquo;no loading and no waiting&rsquo; temporary signs will be used in a small number of locations to provide residents with advance notice of this work. &nbsp;A new Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) is now in place that provides us with enforcement powers to ticket and, as a last resort, tow away parked vehicles that obstruct this work. We are asking local residents to observe the &#39;no loading and no waiting&#39; temporary signs that will be used in a small number of locations across the scheme.Responding to ongoing concerns about road safety and access, on 20th October 2022 a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) was published proposing permanent double yellow lines along one side of the uppermost part of School Road.

Feedback

We still want to hear your feedback during the trial so that we can understand how it is working. We have added a feedback form to the bottom of this page to make it easier for you to share your views. Please provide your feedback via this form to allow us to continue to monitor how the scheme is working.You can also provide formal feedback on the scheme by emailing <a href="mailto:connectingsheffield@sheffield.gov.uk">connectingsheffield@sheffield.gov.uk</a><a data-uw-rm-brl="exc" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="mailto:connectingsheffield@sheffield.gov.uk" data-uw-rm-empty-ctrl=""></a>

Scheme review

Prior to the implementation of the scheme, we monitored traffic numbers in and around Crookes and Walkley. This has given us a data baseline from which we can monitor the effects of the scheme on traffic numbers. We will repeat this monitoring process over the remainder of the trial period to give us an idea of how the measures have affected traffic in the area.&nbsp;Once the extended trial period is complete in March 2023, there will then be a formal review of the scheme by the Council&rsquo;s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Change Committee as to which elements of the trial should stay in place and which should be removed or changed. This is likely to be in summer 2023 and will include consideration of public feedback received, traffic monitoring data and independent randomised polling. During this decision-making period the scheme will remain in place. Final decisions will be communicated to local residents via a direct letter and via the Connecting Sheffield website.------------------------------------------------------To help us to monitor the success of this project we may need to occasionally survey traffic in the area using cameras mounted on lamp posts. We need to do this so that we can understand how traffic has been affected by the scheme. For example on certain roads we may wish to understand whether traffic has reduced or increased as a result of the scheme.&nbsp;If you have any queries, concerns or complaints about the way Sheffield City Council processes your personal data, including the way we handle information requests, you can contact our <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/contact-us">Customer Services</a> or the <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/utilities/footer-links/privacy-notice">Data Protection Officer</a>.If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are not processing your personal data in accordance with the law you have the right to contact the Information Commissioner&rsquo;s Office.&nbsp;

Have your say on our proposals for enforcing moving traffic offences.

Enforcing moving traffic offences: Traffic Management Act 2004 - Part 6

Ahead of applying for new powers for the enforcement of Traffic Management Act 2004 &ndash; Part 6, Sheffield City Council is seeking residents&rsquo; views on a number of proposed locations where moving traffic regulations could be enforced by the Authority.Sheffield City Council has been given the opportunity from Central Government to apply for new powers to help make our roads safer and more reliable. &nbsp;We already have some of these powers, such as the enforcement of bus, taxi and tram gates, which have proved successful in managing the highway network over a number of years. &nbsp;The chance of having more of these types of powers will ultimately allow us to have more control over illegal manoeuvres to further help our ambition to improve road safety and congestion.This requires us to make an application to the Secretary of State for Transport under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004. Prior to formally applying for the powers, we are required to carry out a public consultation to seek your views, including sharing a list of potential sites where the powers would be applied.Sheffield City Council (SCC) is planning to use new powers to improve road safety for all highway users and help to tackle congestion by enforcing moving traffic offences, such as:&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;driving through a &#39;No Entry&#39; sign&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;turning left or right when instructed not to do so (making banned turns)&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;entering yellow box junctions when the exit is not clear&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;driving where and when motor vehicles are prohibitedThese rules can currently only be enforced by the police under criminal law. The Department for Transport (DfT) announced in 2020 that they would be fully implementing the remaining elements of the Traffic Management Act under Part 6 (TMA), which would allow Highway Authorities to undertake enforcement. &nbsp;These powers have already been granted to other Highway Authorities across the country.&nbsp;

First step

Our first step is to apply to the DfT for the powers to enforce key highway restrictions or prohibitions to make our roads safer and less congested. If SCC is granted these powers, we will be able to use them across the city.The primary reason for discharging camera enforcement is for road safety and network management. &nbsp;As a result, the locations being proposed have been prioritised on the basis of South Yorkshire Police recorded Personal Injury Accident record (i.e. the number of recorded collisions at a site that have resulted in an injury). &nbsp;Specifically, this relates to the incident causation factors 301 and 305 which have been interrogated by the Council&rsquo;s Road Safety Team. &nbsp;We have also used historical reports of poor compliance with the traffic rules in the area, and in relation to network management where there is existing or potential traffic congestion and delays, including delay to public transport provision.At first, we are planning to use the powers at the below sites.

The bus gate will limit vehicular traffic travelling northbound along Arundel Gate between the Novotel Hotel junction and Norfolk Street. The bus gate will only allow buses, coaches, registered hackney carriages and private hire taxis and cyclists to pass through.&nbsp;Installing a bus gate here will provide increased public transport priority to ease congestion and support faster journey times.The bus gate has been implemented through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO). This is now live and a statutory consultation period has begun, you can now make formal comments on the scheme as part of the statutory consultation process. Please check the webpage for information on how to make formal comments on the scheme as part of the statutory consultation process.Enforcement cameras are located at the bus gate and unauthorised vehicles, such as private cars, will now be charged for going through the bus gate; registered keepers of unauthorised vehicles using the bus gate will be issued with a fixed penalty charge notice. Warning signs and direction signs for routes to avoid the bus gate have been installed to ensure people are aware of it and have the opportunity to avoid it.&nbsp;UPDATE 13 MARCH 2023Due to the poor weather conditions last week Amey, the contractors installing the bus gate, have informed us that their work has been delayed slightly. It is now anticipated that the bus gate will be operational from 12:01am on Monday 20th March 2023. Please do continue to check this webpage for the latest updates.&nbsp;A list of Frequently Asked Questions about this scheme can be found at the bottom of this page.&nbsp;UPDATE 3 MARCH 2023You may have noticed Amey contractors on site installing the bus gate signs and lines, installing cameras and cabling, and reducing the current two lanes down to one lane. There may be some traffic management such as traffic signals on site in the interim period while this construction takes place, before the bus lane is fully operational. Some of the work will be taking place overnight to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.UPDATE 27 FEBRUARY 2023The Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) has now gone live. As we have now begun the statutory consultation period, you can now make formal comments on the scheme as part of the statutory consultation process for the Arundel Gate bus gate ETRO.&nbsp;If you would like to make a formal comment in support of the scheme or an objection, please provide:&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Your full name&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;A valid postal address&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Details of your comment in support or objectionPlease can all comments (with the subject as Arundel Gate ETRO) be submitted to:&nbsp;&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;FREEPOST Connecting SHF&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;0808 196 5105&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;info@connecting-sheffield.co.uk OR traffic.regs@sheffield.gov.ukIf you have a question, you can email us at info@connecting-sheffield.co.uk or you can call us, free of charge, on the Connecting Sheffield line, at 0808 196 5105UPDATE 23 FEBRUARY 2023The Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for the Arundel Gate bus gate will go live on Monday 27 February. From this date, the pre-implementation consultation will close and the statutory consultation will open. Details of how to formally comment/object during the statutory consultation will be detailed here in due course.&nbsp;The installation of the measures for the bus gate are anticipated to start on or around Monday 27th February.Please continue to check this website page for updates.UPDATE 17 FEBRUARY 2023Thank you to everyone who has sent in comments and feedback on the Arundel Gate Bus Gate pre-implementation consultation so far.If you have not already done so, please do share your feedback on the bus gate via the <a data-id="ff8d0793-ff9b-467b-b40d-ff2ebd025f07" data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/arundel-gate-bus-gate-pre-implementation-consultation/step1">online feedback form</a>. You have until the Monday 27 February 2023 to submit your views.Once the bus gate has been installed, a further period of statutory consultation will follow &ndash; this will be part of the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) process. This period of consultation will last for 18 months. All feedback received throughout the pre-implementation consultation, as well as the statutory consultation process, will be considered before a decision is made on whether the bus gate will be retained. More information on how to give feedback during the ETRO consultation will be posted on this website in due course. Please check our website for further details from Monday 27 February. <span class="data-uw-rm-autofix-hide" data-uw-rm-ignore="" style="color: #ffffff;background: #000000;clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);clip-path: inset(50%);height: 1px;width: 1px;margin: -1px;overflow: hidden;padding: 0;position: absolute;">mpty heading<h2 id="isPasted">Introduction</h2>From the 27th February 2023, Sheffield will launch its Clean Air Zone, covering Sheffield city centre, to reduce air pollution from vehicle traffic. High levels of air pollution have a damaging impact on people&rsquo;s health, particularly the elderly, children and people with existing health conditions. The Clean Air Zone is part of a Clean Air Plan which is designed to bring air pollution within the maximum legally permitted level across Sheffield and Rotherham to improve health.&nbsp;Alongside the Clean Air Zone, other accompanying measures are also required to reduce air pollution. Arundel Gate has among the highest levels of air pollution of any location in the city. As a result, Sheffield City Council is to introduce a northbound-only bus gate on Arundel Gate to reduce the number of vehicles travelling along this stretch of road and in turn reduce the localised high levels of air pollution.&nbsp;The bus gate will be implemented through an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) running for up to 18 months, on or around the 27th February 2023, to coincide with the launch of the Clean Air Zone. All enforcement signage will be covered during construction and only uncovered once the bus gate is live and operational. Updates on the confirmed go-live date will be provided on this website.&nbsp;Ahead of the bus gate going live, Sheffield City Council is running a pre-scheme consultation allowing users of Arundel Gate to provide feedback that can be considered as the bus gate plans are finalised and implemented. This phase of consultation will go live on the 16th January 2023 and run until the bus gate is implemented via the ETRO.A further period of statutory consultation will then follow alongside the ETRO period, which will run for up to 18 months. During this time, the public will be able to formally feed back on the operation of the bus gate. All feedback will then be considered before a decision is made on whether the bus gate is to be retained permanently.&nbsp;<h2> <span class="data-uw-rm-autofix-hide" data-uw-rm-ignore="" style="color: #ffffff;background: #000000;clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);clip-path: inset(50%);height: 1px;width: 1px;margin: -1px;overflow: hidden;padding: 0;position: absolute;">Empty heading</h2><h2>What we&rsquo;re proposing</h2>The bus gate will operate in one direction only, restricting northbound traffic from travelling beyond the access point to the Novotel Hotel, heading towards Norfolk Street. This will prevent vehicles using Arundel Gate as a through-route between Furnival Square roundabout and Park Square roundabout.&nbsp;Vehicles will still be able to access the Q-Park car park on Charles Street and the Novotel Hotel, using the northbound carriageway, travelling from Furnival Square roundabout.&nbsp;There will be no bus gate heading southbound, in the opposite direction, with full access maintained for all vehicles travelling between Park Square roundabout and Furnival Square roundabout.Vehicles will be able to travel the full length of the southbound carriageway, from Park Square roundabout, to access the NCP car park and Norfolk Street from Arundel Gate. &nbsp;Vehicles will also still be able to exit Norfolk Street, which is after the bus gate, to travel northbound towards Park Square roundabout, as they currently do. &nbsp;&nbsp;Enforcement cameras will be located at the bus gate. Contravention of the bus gate by non-authorised vehicles will result in a fixed penalty notice being issued to the registered keeper of the contravening vehicle. Warning signs and direction signs for routes to avoid the bus gate will be installed to ensure people are aware of it and have the opportunity to avoid it.&nbsp;Turning will be allowed at the access to the Novotel Hotel to allow northbound vehicles that have missed the signs to turn back and avoid inadvertently travelling through the bus gate.Below is a map of the changes that we are introducing:<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1673525822/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/a6my4oi7u6d8qvs486fx.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="plan" data-uw-rm-ima="ai">For a PDF version where you can Zoom in and out, please click <a data-uw-pdf-br="2" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1673516516/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/221205.ArundelGateBusGateMap.V1.9.pdf/dhhjclha0lfwcuy1mqsb.pdf">here</a>.<h2> <span class="data-uw-rm-autofix-hide" data-uw-rm-ignore="" style="color: #ffffff;background: #000000;clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);clip-path: inset(50%);height: 1px;width: 1px;margin: -1px;overflow: hidden;padding: 0;position: absolute;">Empty heading</h2><h2 id="isPasted">Links to the Connecting Sheffield &ndash; City Centre scheme&nbsp;</h2>The Arundel Gate Bus Gate also forms part of proposals consulted on previously as part of the Connecting Sheffield &ndash; City Centre scheme to improve the look and feel of Arundel Gate by introducing new cycling and bus routes around the city centre, including along Arundel Gate, in addition to improved footpaths, a pocket park and green space.&nbsp;The bus gate is being introduced ahead of the wider Connecting Sheffield &ndash; City Centre proposals to contribute to the Clean Air Zone and the joint Sheffield/Rotherham Clean Air Plan to reduce harmful levels of air pollution.The Connecting Sheffield &ndash; City Centre plans for Arundel Gate would see a new segregated cycleway created on the northbound side of the road to connect into new cycle routes around Castlegate to Darnall and West Bar/Kelham, along with new pathways and environmental improvements to make Arundel Gate much greener and more attractive.

Neepsend - Kelham - City Centre

Neepsend-Kelham-City Centre: Latest Updates 

The new segregated cycle track and landscaping will continue from West Bar roundabout along Tenter Street on the side heading into the City Centre. Tenter Street will become one lane in each direction for vehicle traffic. New signal-controlled crossings will be added to facilitate cycling and walking and a *continuous footway (see the details below for Burngreave and Pitsmoor for an explanation of a continuous footway) over junctions running off Tenter Street along the side streets towards West Bar roundabout will give priority to pedestrians. With the exception of Silver Street Head, access for vehicles to each side street and on Tenter Street itself will be maintained.The roundabout currently in place at the junction of Broad Lane will be amended to provide a safer and more accessible route for cycling and walking into the city centre while also reducing traffic speeds. Vehicle access to and from Hawley Street where it meets Townhead Street will be removed, with Hawley Street becoming two-way with access from Campo Lane. The detailed design of what the junction will look like is still under consideration.A future scheme will connect the cycleway along Townhead Street into the cycle tracks starting at Leopold Street that have been consulted on under <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/city-centre-proposals/step1">Connecting Sheffield: City Centre.</a><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1676903560/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/qt6snz1crq8uz2pqken3.png" class="fr-fic fr-dii" data-uw-rm-ima="ai-w">To view this map as a pdf, click&nbsp;<a data-uw-pdf-br="2" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1676979721/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/Neepsend%20-%20Kelham%20Tenter%20Street.pdf/w2qft5ijoswhetshvpwe.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.<h3>Burngreave and Pitsmoor Walking Routes - subject to further funding</h3>The proposals also included two new high-quality walking routes to connect communities in Pitsmoor and Burngreave with Neepsend, Kelham and the City Centre. The first route runs along Nottingham Street and Rock Street, the second along Burngreave Road and Spital Hill.&nbsp;The routes are shown on the map below:<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1676909681/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/gthud2gd2cxzvwkrpgsh.png" class="fr-fic fr-dib" data-uw-rm-ima="hd">To view this map as a pdf, click&nbsp;<a data-uw-pdf-br="1" data-uw-pdf-doc="" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1676979728/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/Neepsend%20-%20Kelham%20Walking%20Routes%20old.pdf/muqp7puxh4hhwjgj4pvc.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.Where the northern section of Nottingham Street meets Rock Street, vehicle access will be removed to allow the footpath to run continuously across this previously existing junction. Alternative access to Rock Street and Nottingham Street will be via Andover Street.&nbsp;Bus stops along Nottingham Street and Rock Street will be upgraded with high kerbs to make it easier to get on and off the bus, and shelters to protect people from the weather while they wait for a bus.Measures will be implemented at all minor side road junctions open to traffic along these routes to give priority to pedestrians. The pinch point build outs currently in place on Rock Street will be replaced with full width road humps to better manage traffic flow.&nbsp;A new pedestrian island will be created in the middle of Burngreave Road just above the junction with Abbeyfield Road, making it easier to cross the road to and from Abbeyfield Park and the children&rsquo;s playground. The existing pedestrian island in the middle of Burngreave Road just to the south of Abbeyfield Road will be improved.A number of *continuous footways will be introduced along the walking routes. &nbsp;Continuous footways are based on an approach applied in The Netherlands which gives priority to pedestrians at the approach to side road junctions rather than to motor vehicles as is currently the case. &nbsp;Footpaths will run continuously across junctions at the same level as the pavement, and road traffic will have to travel over the raised footway via ramps to exit the junction. This will slow traffic down to enhance safety.The visualisation below illustrates how continuous footways work:

Following consultation with disability groups, there will now be hazard warning paving at continuous footways. The hazard warning paving helps visually impaired long cane users detect that there is a crossing nearby and navigate safely to the crossing.The continuous walking routes in Pitsmoor and Burngreave will be most ambitious walking routes in the city and will dramatically improve local walking connections and encourage walking in place of car trips for short journeys.

Nether Edge Active Neighbourhood - Latest Updates

<h1>Nether Edge Active Neighbourhood - Latest Updates</h1>Please note: We have now added the online survey asking about your experience of the Nether Edge Active Neighbourhood to this page. Please scroll down to the &#39;Survey&#39; section on this page to access and complete it.<h2>Background</h2>The Nether Edge Active Neighbourhood aims to create a safer, cleaner and more pleasant environment for residents and local businesses to enjoy and a more attractive area for walking, cycling and spending time outdoors.In summer 2021, we asked what you thought an Active Neighbourhood in your area could look like. Through our online survey and heatmap, you told us that you would like:<ul><li>Increased confidence to walk or cycle around the neighbourhood</li><li>Safer streets for walking</li><li>Improved air quality</li><li>Less traffic</li><li>A nicer environment for people to spend time outside</li></ul>View the 2021 consultation and final report <a data-uw-rm-brl="false" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" data-uw-rm-vglnk="" href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/nether-edge-active-neighbourhood/step1" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;The feedback we received during that consultation helped to inform the design of the Active Neighbourhood.&nbsp;<h2>Creating the Active Neighbourhood and changes following the consultation</h2>In May 2022, we put measures in place to create the Active Neighbourhood via an &lsquo;Experimental Traffic Regulation Order&rsquo; (ETRO). This allowed us to hold a consultation over a six month period while we installed measures as a trial on a non-permanent basis. We asked you to share your feedback on the scheme during this trial period so we could understand how the Active Neighbourhood was working and make any changes where necessary.The plans originally included:<ul><li>Three proposed road closures (two on Archer Lane, one on Union Road)&nbsp;</li><li>A one way restriction along Nether Edge Road</li><li>Two controlled pedestrian crossings (one on Osborne Road, one on Psalter Lane)</li></ul>Responding to feedback from local businesses, who raised concerns that the proposed one-way restriction along Nether Edge Road and the closure of Union Road would restrict access for larger vehicles, we did not implement either of these measures. In addition, the closures on Archer Lane achieved a large enough reduction in traffic for the other closure to not go ahead. We put both pedestrian crossings in place as planned.The map below shows the scheme as it currently stands.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1684311670/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/hqimsmq9kaqnskgbhr6j.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib">To view this map as a pdf, click <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1684326491/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/230125%20NE%20AN%20map.V1%20%281%2971.pdf/z3encraspl5dctfgvszj.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.<h2>Responding to feedback&nbsp;</h2>Thank you to everyone who shared their feedback on the Active Neighbourhood trial. If you&rsquo;ve sent an email, written a letter or spoken to a member of our team on the phone, please be assured that we&rsquo;ve logged your feedback and our project team working on the scheme will consider it.In July 2022, we held two community drop-in sessions where we met with residents to discuss the scheme and answer questions. We&rsquo;ll also take into account the feedback from these events.<h2>Traffic monitoring data</h2>So we can monitor and evaluate the success of the Active Neighbourhood trial, we&rsquo;ve conducted traffic monitoring surveys at a number of junctions across Nether Edge and the surrounding areas. These surveys capture the movements of motorised vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians between each arm of the junction.We surveyed junctions where we anticipated a potential change in travel because of the scheme, including areas of potential traffic where traffic may have moved to another route. We also surveyed how the two controlled pedestrian crossings we implemented as part of the scheme were used.In May 2022, before the trial began, we conducted traffic monitoring to obtain baseline data. We repeated this exercise in October 2022 and then in March 2023.The data we captured over a 12 hour period showed some significant decreases in traffic as a result of the Active Neighbourhood. These included:<ul><li>a 34% decrease in through traffic on Nether Edge Road</li><li>2,592 fewer vehicles at the Archer Lane / Brincliffe Edge Road junction</li><li>1,902 fewer vehicles at the Bannerdale Road / Abbeydale Road junction.</li></ul>We&rsquo;ve also seen some traffic moving to other routes, including an additional 1,325 vehicles (41% increase) at the Brincliffe Edge Road / Bannerdale Road junction.Overall, we&rsquo;ve seen an increase in walking and cycling at all the locations we measured, including:<ul><li>143 additional pedestrians (44% increase) on Archer Lane</li><li>101 additional cyclists (44% increase) at the Nether Edge Road / Sheldon Road junction.</li></ul>You can view all the results of the traffic monitoring we&rsquo;ve done so far

Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood: Latest Updates

<h1>Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood: Latest Updates</h1>Please note: We have now added the online survey asking about your experience&nbsp;of the Crookes &amp; Walkley Active Neighbourhood to this page. Please scroll down to the &#39;Survey&#39; section on this page to access and complete it.IntroductionThe Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood aims to create a safer, cleaner and more pleasant environment for residents and local businesses to enjoy and a more attractive area for walking, cycling and spending time outdoors.In summer 2021, we asked what you thought an Active Neighbourhood in your area could look like. Through our online survey and heatmap, you told us that you would like:<ul><li>Improved crossing points</li><li>Safer areas for children to play</li><li>Dedicated spaces for cycling</li><li>A reduction in traffic</li><li>Improved footpaths for walking</li><li>Changes to parking</li></ul>66% of respondents told us they felt positively about the proposal to create an Active Neighbourhood. During that consultation, some people raised concerns about access to homes and businesses being restricted. There were also concerns about parking potentially becoming more difficult. You can view the 2021 consultation and final report <a href="https://connectingsheffield.commonplace.is/en-GB/proposals/crookes-active-neighbourhood/step1">here</a>.&nbsp;The feedback we received during that consultation helped to inform the design of the Active Neighbourhood.&nbsp;<h2>Creating the Active Neighbourhood</h2>In April 2022, we put measures in place to create the Active Neighbourhood via an &lsquo;Experimental Traffic Regulation Order&rsquo; (ETRO). The ETRO allowed us&nbsp;to put in place the planned road closures, crossings, and one-way systems as a trial on a non-permanent basis. As part of this trial, we asked local people to provide their feedback during a six-month period of consultation&nbsp;so we could understand how the Active Neighbourhood was working and make any changes where necessary.Due to unforeseen delays in putting all of the planned Active Neighbourhood measures in place, we extended the consultation period to give residents the chance to experience how the Active Neighbourhood worked in its entirety including through the winter months.&nbsp;The plans originally included:<ul><li>13 proposed road-point closures&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type: disc;"><li>two on Springvale Road at the junctions with Cobden View Road and Western Road;&nbsp;</li><li id="isPasted">two on Matlock Road at its junctions with Heavygate Road;</li><li>two on Newent Lane;&nbsp;</li><li>two on Slinn Street;&nbsp;</li><li>one at the junction of Pickmere Road and Sackville Road and another at the junction of Sackville Road and Romsdal Road;&nbsp;</li><li>one at the junction of Leamington Street and Hands Road;&nbsp;</li><li>one on Fir Street;&nbsp;</li><li>and one on Highton Street. </li></ul></li><li>Five one-way restrictions&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type: disc;"><li>two at either end of Greenhow Street;&nbsp;</li><li>one on Heavygate Avenue;&nbsp;</li><li>one on Springvale Road;&nbsp;</li><li>and one on Mona Avenue. </li></ul></li><li>Three controlled pedestrian crossings&nbsp;<ul style="list-style-type: disc;"><li>one on Crookes;&nbsp;</li><li>one on Heavygate Road;&nbsp;</li><li>and one on Crookesmoor Road. </li></ul></li><li>One School Street.</li></ul><h2>Changes to the Active Neighbourhood</h2>We listened carefully to feedback from local people throughout the trial period and made some changes to the Active Neighbourhood as a result.&nbsp;<ul><li>As the closure at the junction of Sackville Road and Pickmere Road reduced through-traffic sufficiently, we removed the closure at the junction of Sackville Road and Romsdal Road.</li><li>To provide an alternative route during snowy periods and to retain access to the church and pub, we removed the closures on Slinn Street.</li><li>To allow easier refuse collection, we repositioned the closure on Newent Lane.</li><li>To maintain an access route between Crookes and Walkley we removed the closure at the eastern junction of Matlock Road and Heavygate Road&nbsp;</li><li>To maintain sufficient space for vehicles to manoeuvre, we removed the diagonal closures on Springvale Road at the junctions with Cobden View Road and Western Road.&nbsp;</li><li>As the double yellow lines on the corners of Western Road and Cobden View Road were no longer necessary following the removal of the diagonal closures, we restored the double yellow lines to their original lengths.&nbsp;</li><li>To reduce the impact of displaced traffic using Melbourn Road, we removed the one-way restriction on Springvale Road&nbsp;</li></ul>The maps below show the scheme as it currently stands.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1683636209/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/dgtkdkoituyxhsc3hjht.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Map showing part of the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood">To view this map as a pdf, click&nbsp;<a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1683636302/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/221021_Crookes%20Active%20travel%20map%201_May%202023.pdf/qvzfl9p8nbx1xvhtk4tu.pdf">here</a>.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1683636249/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/ebt6dsvbv0svsb2y2q2a.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Map showing part of the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood">To view this map as a pdf, click&nbsp;<a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1683636308/projects/5f155a4ce4db0153de20b5ce/media-upload/221021_Crookes%20Active%20travel%20map%202_May%202023.pdf/kcgfmv1aqvl69mbo4szp.pdf">here</a>.<h2 id="isPasted">Responding to Feedback</h2>Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback on the Active Neighbourhood trial. If you&rsquo;ve sent an email, written a letter or spoken to a member of our team on the phone, please be assured that we&rsquo;ve logged your feedback and it will be taken into consideration by our project team.In June and July 2022, we held three community drop-in sessions in Crookes and one drop-in session in Walkley where we met with residents to discuss the scheme and answer questions. We&rsquo;ll also take into account the feedback from these events.<h2>Next Steps</h2>The period for comments on the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) for the Crookes and Walkley Active Neighbourhood ended in March 2023. An ETRO allows measures to stay in place for up to 18 months. During the remainder of the ETRO period, the Active Neighbourhood will remain in place while decisions are made around which elements of the trial should stay, be removed or changed.<h2>Survey</h2>During May 2023, we&rsquo;ll be asking residents and businesses for your views on how you think the Active Neighbourhood trial has changed the area.We want to know whether you think it&rsquo;s achieved the aims of making it a safer, cleaner and more pleasant environment for people and businesses to enjoy and a more attractive area for walking, cycling and spending time outdoors. As well as the face-to-face survey, we have added the survey questions to this web page for you to answer online too.&nbsp;To access and complete the survey, please click <a href="https://operations641637.typeform.com/to/uZaC1q8R" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. The survey will close on Wednesday 21st June at 9am.<h2>Traffic Monitoring Data</h2>In November 2021, before the Active Neighbourhood trial began, we conducted traffic monitoring surveys at a number of junctions across Crookes and Walkley to obtain baseline data. These surveys capture the movements of motorised vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.We surveyed junctions where we anticipated a potential change in travel because of the scheme, including areas of potential traffic where traffic may have moved to another route as a result of the Active Neighbourhood. We also surveyed how the controlled pedestrian crossings we implemented as part of the scheme were used.We repeated this exercise in September 2022 and then again in April 2023. We are currently analysing the data to understand how traffic flows have changed since the Active Neighbourhood was created and will share our findings on this web page. We expect this to be available in summer 2023.<h2>Decision Making</h2>We expect that a final decision on the scheme will be made in September 2023 by Sheffield City Council&rsquo;s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee. The decision will be informed by the results of traffic monitoring surveys, feedback received during the trial period and the results of the surveys we&rsquo;ll conduct in May. We&rsquo;ll communicate the decision the Committee makes via a letter to the local community and on the Connecting Sheffield website.<h2>Contact Details</h2>You can get in touch with the Connecting Sheffield team using the following channels:Email: <a href="mailto:info@connecting-sheffield.co.uk">info@connecting-sheffield.co.uk</a> Freephone:&nbsp;&nbsp;0808 196 5105&nbsp; Post: Freepost Connecting SHFTo access and complete the online survey asking about your experience of the Crookes &amp; Walkley Active Neighbourhood, please click&nbsp;<a href="https://operations641637.typeform.com/to/uZaC1q8R" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
