Summary Recommendations Committee and Date Item/Paper Central Planning Committee 14th January 2010 8 Public Connect2 ‘The Severnside Gap’: Proposed Improvements for Pedestrians and Cyclists at the Bridge Street/Welsh Bridge/Smithfield Road, Shrewsbury Signalised Junction. Responsible Officer Hugh Dannatt Email: [email protected] Telephone: 01743 255469 Summary This report outlines the proposals to remodel the Bridge Street/Welsh Bridge junction to provide improved crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and to provide a new signal controlled crossing point from Victoria Quay to the north side of Smithfield Road. External funds are available for this project from ‘Connect2’ (Sustrans and Big Lottery) and ‘Cycle Shrewsbury’ (Cycling England and the Department for Transport). This will be match funded from the Local Transport Plan. This stage of the project has been subject to a wide consultation with stakeholders, local members, the Connect2 Steering Group and local residents/businesses. Whilst feedback was generally in favour of the project, a number of concerns/objections were received. Many of the objections have now been designed out of the scheme (as explained below), however the Central Planning Committee should decide if the scheme is implemented. Due to the recent gas explosion in Bridge Street, the existing signalised junction has been rendered in-operable. Therefore Officers wish to implement the scheme as soon as possible to minimise disruption to the Shrewsbury road network Recommendations The Committee is recommended to: Approve the revised proposals (detailed on the plan in Appendix A) to remodel the signalised junction between Bridge Street, Welsh Bridge and Smithfield Road to provide improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists in this area of Shrewsbury. Contact: Hugh Dannatt on 01743 255469 Central Planning Committee:14th January 2010 Report BACKGROUND 1. These proposals form part of a wider Connect 2 scheme which will make it easier to walk and cycle between north Shrewsbury, Smithfield Road and the town centre. Sustrans, the sustainable transport charity, won the national public vote in December 2007 to secure £50 million from the Big Lottery Fund. This money is going to fund 79 different schemes across the UK, connecting up routes where there are busy roads, rivers or other barriers to walking and cycling. 2. The Shrewsbury Connect2 project consists of the already completed Greenfields Recreation Ground footway/cycleways, the Welsh Bridge signalised crossings (this phase of the project), improvements to the footway on the north (river) side of Smithfield Road (including a new path behind the boxing gym) and improvements to the crossing points at the Raven Meadows signalised junction. 3. Currently the footway on the north side of Smithfield Road sees little use due to very poor crossing points. The proposed improvements to the Bridge Street/Welsh Bridge junction provide a ‘Toucan’ signalised crossing at the end of Welsh Bridge to allow pedestrians and cyclists to access the route from Victoria Quay. Improvements to the other crossing points around the junction are also included in the proposals. Proposed Scheme 4. The objective of this phase of the Connect2 Shrewsbury project is to overcome the existing barriers for walking and cycling due to a lack of controlled crossing points at this key town centre junction, and to improve access for pedestrians and cyclists on the north side of Smithfield Road. The scheme will also complement the recently completed ‘Quantum Leap’ Darwin tribute monument as it will provide excellent access to the site. 5. As the site is located at one of the most critical junctions in Shrewsbury, the project has been subjected to a rigorous design and traffic modelling process by our consultant; Mouchel. The project has been developed to provide improved links for pedestrians and cyclists whilst minimising any impacts to traffic flows. 6. In addition to the proposed Welsh Bridge signal crossing point, the project will provide a fully signalised pedestrian crossing over Bridge Street and will convert the existing Smithfield Road staggered signal crossing into a Toucan crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. Contact Hugh Dannatt on 01743 255469 Central Planning Committee:14th January 2010 7. A further advantage to the scheme is that the existing and outdated traffic signalling equipment at the Bridge Street/Welsh Bridge Junction and also the Frankwell Quay junction will be replaced and upgraded. In order to minimise any residual impacts to traffic flows through this area caused by the additional signal crossings, a specialised traffic signal operating system called ‘MOVA’ is proposed. This system is designed to ‘optimise’ traffic flow during peak times to minimise delays. Design changes made following public consultation 8. Due to the addition of the proposed single-stage crossing point on the southern side of the Welsh Bridge, it was proposed to remove the signal control from the existing Frankwell two-stage staggered crossing at the opposite end of the bridge (as it was thought that both crossings would not be required). However, following comments received from the consultation, we propose that this crossing point will be retained and its use reviewed over a period following the completion of the works. 9. Originally it was intended for Victoria Quay/Avenue to be made one-way (westbound) as part of the scheme (due to movements in the signal junction). However, this was opposed by a number of groups during the consultation and has since been ‘designed out’ of the scheme. Therefore, Victoria Quay/Avenue is to remain as a two-way road to all traffic. 10. The proposed layout of the Bridge Street/Welsh Bridge junction removes the existing bus, taxi and cycle lane, which allows these vehicles to drive southbound into Bridge Street from the Welsh Bridge (local buses no longer use this facility). It was considered that cyclists would still be able to make this movement by using the proposed staggered crossing on Smithfield Road. However, during the consultation many local cyclists expressed that this would not be acceptable. Therefore, the design has been amended to include a simple ‘dropped’ kerb on the end of the Smithfield road splitter island to allow the movement. 11. The section of footway on the southeast corner of the junction between Smithfield Road and Bridge Street was proposed to be upgraded to a shared use facility. During the consultation, a number of concerns were expressed over this element of the project. It is therefore proposed that this will now remain as footway only. CONSULTATION 12. During November and December 2009, over 400 people were contacted directly to find out their views on the detailed plans for the project. Included in the consultation were the proposals for the Welsh Bridge junctions crossings, a shared use footway cycleway on the north side of Smithfield Road and the proposed new shared use path to the rear of the Boxing Gym building (the old mortuary). Contact Hugh Dannatt on 01743 255469 Central Planning Committee:14th January 2010 13. The methods of consultation contact used included: Briefings – with councillors, Shrewsbury Town Council and Morris and Company Ltd Meetings – including Cycle Shrewsbury/ Connect2 Project Group and the Shropshire Cycle Forum Letters (43) to stakeholders Fliers (400) – to businesses in the area, Mountfields residents and Sixth Form College students Plans and feedback forms available at Shirehall Reception, Guildhall Reception, Shrewsbury Reference Library and Rowley’s Mansion Websites – Shropshire Council, Cycle Shrewsbury, Shropshire Consultation Portal and Sustrans Connect2 Information in other newsletters – including to 2,400 Belle Vue residents Media coverage – in Shrewsbury Chronicle and Shropshire Star 14. Minutes from meetings and briefings were recorded and have been included in the consultation assessment. In addition, a total of 14 feedback forms were returned and 20 letters/emails were received. 15. Generally the feedback received from the consultation was in support for the proposals. However, a number of objections were received and comments were made on some aspects of the scheme. 16. A total of four objections were received over the proposal to make Victoria Quay/Avenue one-way. Consequently, this has now been designed out of the scheme. 17. Two objections were made over the complete scheme; one objector (a member of the public) felt that the scheme does not link east and west Shrewsbury, and the other (Cllr Peter Nutting) did not agree with various aspects of the project , considering it premature to a decision being made on the North-West Relief Road. 18. Officers have made every effort to address the objections and comments made in the consultation through revising the design. It is believed that the project now meets the objectives for improved pedestrian and cycle links without compromising local needs and traffic sensitivity. 19. A detailed summary of the consultation is contained in Appendix B of this report. Contact Hugh Dannatt on 01743 255469 Central Planning Committee:14th January 2010 SCHEME COSTS AND FUNDING 20. Shrewsbury’s bid for Connect2 funding provides £500k over a five year period. A condition is placed on this funding that it must be matched from other sources. These will include developer contributions, the Local Transport Plan and Cycle Shrewsbury 21. The improvements to the junctions at either end of the Welsh Bridge are estimated to cost in the region of £200k. TIMESCALE

  • Civil Engineers' Commemorative Plaques
    CIVIL ENGINEERS’ COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUES Biographical notes on the civil engineers whose names are commemorated on the façade of the Civil Engineering Building CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IMPERIAL COLLEGE ------------ LONDON 1995 © Department of Civil Engineering Imperial College 1987 Revised 1995 FOREWORD The term civil engineer appeared for the first time in the Minutes of the Society of Civil Engineers, formed in 1771. In using this title, founder members of the society were recognising a new profession in Britain which was distinct from the much earlier profession of military engineer. John Smeaton, whose name appears among those on the plaques, was among the founder members. The Society, which still exists, was later renamed the Smeatonion Society of Civil Engineers after principal founder, John Smeaton, and was the precursor of, but distinct from, the Institution of Civil Engineers, which was formed in 1818, with Thomas Telford as its first President. The transformation of Britain from an agrarian to an industrial society during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was made possible only through the skill and ingenuity of civil engineers. From the beginning of the eighteenth century the quantity and range of engineering work gained momentum, encompassing river navigation schemes, drainage of marshes, work on docks and harbours, the building of bridges, and the surveying and laying out of a large canal system. The last involved tunnels and aqueducts on a hitherto undreamt of scale. As the Canal Age gave way to the development of the railway system during the nineteenth century, the challenges which engineers had to meet became even greater. The building of the railway track and bridges called for rapid advances in iron technology and an understanding of behaviour of both wrought and cast iron.

  • Telford's Mythe Bridge at Bushley
    The Bridge. Until the 19th century access from Bushley and it's environs to Tewkesbury, the other side of the River Severn, was only available via two ancient ferry crossings at Upper and Lower Lode. One took travellers to Forthampton Court and the other to Pull Court in Bushley and then onwards to T H E M Y T H E B R I D G E. Ledbury. The nearest bridge over the Severn was at Upton, which was the lowest point of the river that it was bridged at that time. But as advances in bridge design, and the increasing use of cast iron, Thomas Telford’s iron masterpiece over the River Severn were making larger spans more feasible a bridge crossing at Tewkesbury was considered to be viable and the idea was reviewed in 1816 and 1818. John Rennie, from London, was the first in Bushley. engineer to investigate a possible site for a new bridge and he selected a location halfway between the two ferry crossings to be connected to Tewkesbury via a causeway across the Ham. In 1823 the ‘Tewkesbury Severn Bridge and Turnpikes Trust' was set up by Act of Parliament and For the construction of the bridge local supporters raised £18,600, the two Tewkesbury MPs contributing £1,000 each. General Dowdeswell of Pull Court, who originally objected the project as he did not want his constituents in Tewkesbury (when he was MP) being able to access his home and bother him, sold his ferry crossing at Upper Lode for £1,650, contributing £500.
