  • Safer Cycling and Walking to and from North West Cambridge
    Safer Cycling and Walking to and from North West Cambridge Nicola Pearson*1, David J.C. MacKay†1 and J. Axel Zeitler‡1 1Resident of Girton and parent of child in reception class at the University of Cambridge Primary School 3rd November 2015 Abstract We are deeply concerned that the designs of the Eddington Ave / Huntingdon Rd junction and the Bunker’s Hill / Huntingdon Rd / Girton Rd are not safe for pedestrians and cyclists coming and going between the North West Cambridge Development and Girton Village, including both Girton Road and Thornton Road; moreover these designs are utterly inconsistent with the stated aspirations of the University, the City Council, and the District Council, to enhance the transport connections to neighbouring communities. We note that the University’s Transport Strategy aims to give cycling and walking high priority and states an aspiration for “high quality” solutions, including “safe and convenient crossings for pedestrians and cyclists”. We note that the University’s Community Strategy repeatedly mentions the goal of linking to neighbouring communities through cycling and pedestrian routes. We note that the City and District Councils’ Policy stipulates that pedestrian routes should be provided that are “direct, safe, and attractive”, and that new and enhanced cycle links should be made, “including links to nearby villages”. The Eddington Ave / Huntingdon Rd junction design that is being built violates all these aspira- tions and commitments by singularly failing to include ANY new crossings of Huntingdon Road that are direct, safe, and attractive for people travelling from and to Girton and other destinations in the north-west.

  • Wildlife Along the Coton Footpath
    Wildlife along the Coton Footpath Jonathan Shanklin The Cambridge Natural History Society decided in 2002 to embark on a local project to study wildlife along the Coton Footpath. The aim of this was in part to study local wildlife and in part to get beginners involved in identifying flora and fauna. The scope of the project was extended because we discovered that the footpath is located in the grid tetrad that the Botanical Society of the British Isles is surveying as part of their Local Change project and the results will contribute to this project. A surprisingly wide range of flora has been found. Introduction The footpath begins at the junction of Wilberforce Road with Adams Road, adjacent to the new Cambridge University sports ground. It runs west along level ground to the M11 motorway, which it crosses by a footbridge, before continuing on to Coton village. The footpath is designated in the local plan as one of the green environmental routes running out of Cambridge. The footpath runs through the middle of grid tetrad TL45j, which is being surveyed by the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) as part of their Local Change project. The M11 marks the western boundary of the tetrad and return routes are possible via a footpath leading past the University rugby ground on Grange Road, via Charles Babbage Road and the Cavendish Laboratory or via Madingley Road. Several other walks through the tetrad are possible, particularly through the University Observatories to the Huntingdon Road and back via St Giles cemetery and Storey’s Way.
