This phase of the Making Space for People engagement process has now closed

With over 500 respondents, and over 2,000 map comments and survey responses, there's been a significant amount of feedback.

While the survey and map are now closed for comments, you can still view the comments map, and read comments left by previous respondents.

What is Making Space for People?

Making Space for People is a strategy that will help guide improvements to public routes and space in the city centre. It aims to put people first and identify opportunities to enhance the public realm and the way people move around the city.

Potential changes could include:

  • Improvements to the way people move around Cambridge city centre on foot, by bicycle and public transport.
  • Enhancements to walkways, cycleways, roads and open spaces.
  • Introducing new uses for public spaces in certain parts of the city centre.

What are we doing already?

Making Space for People is being developed in partnership between Cambridge City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP).

It is part of a wider programme of City Access improvements - improving travel within Cambridge by public transport, cycling and walking, along with tackling congestion and improving air quality and the public realm.

Other projects currently underway include cycle route improvements, looking at establishing a Clean Air Zone and initiatives to tackle traffic congestion.

What happens next?

We appreciate the time taken to contribute to this survey and will read all comments we receive. Whilst we can’t promise to act on every suggestion, they will all be used in understanding which streets and spaces work well and where there is room for improvement’

There will be an opportunity to comment on the next stage of the process over the coming months as well as a public consultation on the draft Making Space for People strategy in early 2019.
