  • Explanatory Note to Accompany a YCT Design Scheme for the Bootham / Gillygate / Exhibition Square Junction
    Explanatory note to accompany a YCT design scheme for the Bootham / Gillygate / Exhibition Square junction 26th August 2021 This explanatory note is to accompany the design scheme that York Civic Trust has created in conjunction with local residents, commercial concerns, interest groups and other stakeholders. The purpose of this note is to explain the design concept and its rationale. The contents provided here are thematic rather than zonal (the latter is covered in the annotation details found in the design scheme.) Identity The Bootham / Gillygate / Exhibition Square junction currently lacks an identity. It is presented, principally, as a traffic junction, with priority given to vehicle users rather than pedestrians and cyclists (counter to CYC’s ‘Hierarchy of Transport Users’). The junction is therefore to be raised and repaved using materials to give it the appearance and tactile nature of a slow traffic surface, a ‘shared space’. This will bring identity, helping to marry the historic associations of Bootham with Gillygate, Bootham Bar, Exhibition Square and St Leonard’s Place. In order to safely forewarn and introduce this shared space realm to users – vehicle users especially – the raised junction is to be extend from the junction to the T-junctions with Bootham Row and Portland Street and back to the Theatre Royal on St Leonard’s Place. Safety The junction is currently a dangerous space for users – especially cyclists and pedestrians. A series of measures are therefore to be introduced to improve safety for all users. These
