Cherry Hinton Road Walking and Cycling Improvements
Consultation has concluded
We would like your views on possible highway improvements along Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, to make it safer and more attractive for walking and cycling.
Cherry Hinton Road is a key local commuter route in Cambridge, with approximately 2000 cyclists and 1500 pedestrians travelling along the road every day. The area hosts a vibrant mix of shops, services, places to eat and residential properties. The road is used by people as a route to the train station, city centre, and locations along Hills Road.
We would like your views about the area, which will feed into our plans to make safety improvements to the cycle routes, pavements, parking options and bus-stops for those travelling along Cherry Hinton Road.
Currently there is a shared use foot and cycleway on the north side between Derby Road and Perne Road but cyclists must give way at side roads, and there is no cycling provision on the south side of the road.
In June 2015, we carried out a public consultation on Cherry Hinton Road and Queen Edith’s Way. The survey highlighted the multi-functional use of Cherry Hinton Road, with three quarters of respondents using it as a route to work, school or the city centre, with nearly half either stopping or making the road their destination to visit the local shops and amenities. We also talked to businesses between Hills Road and Coleridge Road in March 2018 to understand their specific needs.
Based on all of this feedback we have produced some options for possible cycling and walking improvements, which we would now like you to comment on.
