This scheme supports the Luton 2040 vision, our Local Cycling Walking Infrastructure Plan and Local Transport Plan (LTP5) in becoming a more sustainable town by providing a greener transport network encouraging the use of sustainable travel and increasing walking and cycling.
The proposed work details and map are:
- a dedicated left turn lane from Hatters Way into Chaul End Lane which will improve eastbound traffic flow along Hatters Way.
- signal controlled pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities on the western arm of Hatters Way to improve connectivity and provide a safer crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists.
- signal controlled pedestrian and cycle crossings on Dallow Road to improve connectivity and provide a safer crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists
- the removal of existing redundant on road cycle lanes around the roundabout
- a new shared pedestrian and cycle footway on the western arm of the roundabout to improve connectivity to the Luton network
- additionally, we are proposing to convert the existing bus layby on the western section of Dallow Road to an in flow bus stop
- the removal of the bus lay-by on Dallow Road to improve safety, formalise a three lane approach to support traffic flow
The consultation period finished on Thursday 18 June 23:59.
