looks at introducing a bus gate. The council has launched a consultation on active travel measures and is asking residents their thoughts on multiple measures to improve cycling and walking routes across the borough and help address climate change. These plans will be paid for by the £335,000 grant given by the Department for Transport’s Active Travel Fund. One of the schemes includes introducing a bus gate outside Maidenhead railway station along the length of Shoppenhangers Road between Larchfield and Braywick Road in Oldfield ward – blocking off all traffic except for buses, bicycles, and hackney carriages. It also aims to prevent ‘rat running’ – areas used as cut-throughs to avoid traffic on the main roads.
The money marks the second round of funding from the Government’s Active Travel Fund following the first tranch announced in June. The latest grant will support longer-term projects, to be delivered in the first half of 2021. Several projects now being considered with plans to consult residents and businesses before final decisions are made. The projects include a segregated cycleway along Dedworth Road in Windsor and a cycle route linking the north-east and south of Maidenhead avoiding the busy A4. More school streets near schools in Ascot, Maidenhead and Windsor could see restrictions imposed on traffic during drop off and pick up times.
