Suffolk Design: Streets Guide

Our consultation is for a new Streets Guide, which will assist designing streets for new residential developments especially by promoting walking and cycling.

You are invited to comment on the Suffolk Design: Streets Guide by completing the survey.

The consultation will run from 16 December 2020 until 5pm 10 February 2021.

What we are consulting on

This emerging guidance will assist with the design of new residential developments showing how best to create sustainable transport layouts that promote walking and cycling

The District, Borough and County Councils of Suffolk have been working to improve the design new development through the Suffolk Design initiative. As part of this programme, the County Council commissioned Stantec to produce a new Street Guide to update guidance for residential streets.

Attached is a draft of the emerging Street Design Guide and you are invited to shape the final version of the document.

Could Ancaster Road become a bus gate allowing walking, cycling, buses, and taxis only to encourage active travel and public transport use over the private cars for short journeys to the station and town. This would help to make Birkfield Drive quieter for walking and cycling, as the hill currently makes it a particularly poor experience for cycling up.

This is a more radical idea, however is the sort of thing that's required for resolving the climate emergency and encouraging active travel. This sort of thing is very common in places like The Netherlands.

A bill is being put forward to sentence any cyclist convicted of dangerous cycling to a 14 year prison term.

Approaching from Foundation St, heading for the docks is difficult as traffic swings in at high speed rendering crossing unsafe to access.

Especially frustrating as the straightthrough option would have been so easy to use and achieve.

It has been reported to me by several cyclists that the north east bound approach to Pownall Rd / Fore Hamlet junction is dangerous and in at least one case has involved cyclist injuries. From personal experience i can say it is a dangerous junction. Motorist frustration occurs because of long tailbacks and the temptation is to use the bus lane
