Traffic Management around Cambridge North Station

31/5/2019

 
Picture
McAleer & Rushe Contracts UK have plead that station users to please follow diversions in place for pedestrians and cyclists at the Cambridge North Station (CNS). Measures have been put in place for your own safety and are not greatly obstructive from the original path of travel. As the project progresses, the area will experience a lot of heavy construction traffic therefore pedestrians and cyclists safety is of paramount importance to them.

Clean Air Day 20th June

31/5/2019

 
Picture
Clean Air Day is the UK's largest air pollution campaign, engaging thousands of people at hundreds of events, and reaching millions more through the media. Clean Air Day is on 20th June 2019. Coordinated by Global Action Plan, Clean Air Day brings together communities, businesses, education and the health sector: to improve public understanding of air pollution, both indoors and outdoors; to build awareness of how air pollution affects our health; to explain some of the easy things we can all do to tackle air pollution, helping to protect the environment and our health too.
 
Travel Plan Plus is organising informative day on sustainable option for staff, electric bike try out, free cycle maintenance sessions, Dr Bike sessions plus much more which will be held at the Mathworks car park, Cambridge Business Park. The main aim of the day is to take cars off the road and get as many employees to think more about walking, cycling and using public transport for their commute. This event is open to employees at the Cambridge Business Park, Cambridge Science Park and St John’s Innovation Park.

Mill Road Sensors

31/5/2019

 
Picture
The Smart Cambridge programme installed 15 traffic counting sensors on street lighting columns on Mill Road and the neighbouring network of streets in Cambridge earlier this month. The smart sensors will count the number of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles that pass by them and will be in place for at least 18 months to gather data in relation to the temporary two month closure of Mill Road Bridge this summer. The air quality will also be monitored through seven additional sensors set up by Cambridge City Council, with funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Green Technology for Bus Stops

31/5/2019

 
Picture
The Integrated Highways Management Centre (IHMC) team, in collaboration with Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) have introduced the first solar-powered e-ink technology displays in Cambridgeshire (think Kindle screen) to show the real time timetable for bus arrivals using the power of the sun (no mains connection required!). So far nine displays have been installed to test the new technology in Cambridge, Huntingdon and Sutton, with 12 more due to be delivered in the next three months. The technology simplifies the project management process, which is a big step for this small RTPI project in saving time! To find out where these displays are, please see here. 

Investment from Government for Cambridgeshire's Roads

31/5/2019

 
Picture
The government has announced further funding which will benefit Cambridgeshire’s roads. Both Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have received the maximum amount of additional road maintenance funding from the Department for Transport. This funding means almost £3.1m (£2.5m for Cambridgeshire County Council and £580k for Peterborough City Council) has been awarded to both the county and city council in recognition for making the best use of funds available and prioritising the needs of the public. This year (2019-20), Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have also received funding totalling £990k to help prevent and fix potholes.

In order to keep our roads maintained, people need to help us by coming forward and reporting them using our online, tool, please see here.

Cambridgeshire Corridor Study

31/5/2019

 
Picture
The Cambridgeshire Corridor Study was published by Network Rail in early April. The study was funded by the Department for Transport, the County Council, the Greater Cambridge Partnership and the Combined Authority. It looks at the rail capacity needed in the Cambridge area over the next 25 years, and identifies the infrastructure needed to provide the necessary additional services – over and above new capacity schemes that are already in development such as Cambridge South Station, the East West Rail Central Section, and improvements in the Ely area. With planned growth, more track and platforms will be needed at Cambridge Station, and additional track needed north of the station and on the line to Newmarket. A full copy of the report can be found here. ​
