Programme Entry Pro-forma: Instructions to scheme promoters

Welcome to the Mayor’s Cycling and Walking Challenge Fund (MCF), which aims to kick start the delivery of the GM Cycling and Walking Commissioner’s Made to Move report, and continue Greater ’s journey to becoming a city region where walking and cycling are the natural choices for shorter journeys, as set out in our Transport Strategy 2040.

The MCF is split into two funding pots, namely:

Active Centres & Active Corridors Neighbourhoods

• improve efficient movement of people • reduce car dependency for short trips; (not just motor traffic) between and • improve walking and cycling access to across our towns and city centres; key local facilities (jobs, education, • improve access to local centres by health and shops); cycling and walking; • improve first and last mile access to • reduce negative impacts of traffic on public transport by walking and cycling; local communities; and • Improve walking and cycling to/from • ensure walking and cycling new housing developments; and/or improvements on major routes • reduce severance impacts of major between and through town and city roads that pass through local centres are developed as part of a communities. holistic corridor strategy, based on • Primarily focused on minor “Streets for All” principles. schemes/packages £20k-£1m (with less • Primarily focused on major schemes or onerous business case and approvals packages of measures £1m-£10m processes)

Any scheme promoter seeking to gain funding for a project through the MCF is required to first gain Programme Entry status from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). This is sought through submission of a Programme Entry Proformas (found below) to TfGM’s Cycling and Walking team. Pro-formas can

TfGM/GMCA officers will work closely with scheme promoters to guide them through the application process and assist in bringing schemes forward for submission

The Pro-forma on the following pages is designed to gather all the information necessary for an application for programme entry to be made. The pro-forma is set out in two parts: A and B. Part A provides the basic information on the scheme which will enable TfGM to assess, on behalf of GMCA, the extent to which the scheme is suitable and ready for funding through MCF. This information should be relatively straightforward to provide for most schemes.

Part B provides a greater level of detail about the scheme. Depending on the level of development of the scheme, the years for which funding is sought and the size of the scheme, it may not be possible (or indeed appropriate) to provide all the information requested in Part B, and TfGM will work with districts to provide support in enabling the complete population of the pro-forma. However, it is expected that the majority of both sections will need to be population in order to a scheme to be considered ready for Programme Entry. Please provide all information which is available at the time of preparation of the pro-forma. Please also note that Questions A1 to A7 will be used as a summary sheet for board reporting purposes. Please ensure that questions A1 to A7 remain on one double-sided sheet of A4.

TfGM/GMCA colleagues are here to provide support to help you populate the pro- formas. Please contact in the first instance either

A4 Scheme The proposed project is an improvement scheme at this key strategic location objectives with objectives of an efficient operation of the junction, supporting a green mode of transport, providing safer routes for vulnerable users and encouraging walking which are in line with the Greater Manchester 2040 Transport Strategy, This strategy will be to maintain access to the City Centre by all modes whilst strengthening public transport capacity and quality, together with improving conditions for cyclists and pedestrians. The five key objectives to support this vision are:

• Supporting the competitive advantage of current and future employers, by ensuring good access to the City Centre;

• Providing improved access for all users to the employment, cultural and leisure opportunities that a growing City Centre offers to Manchester’s residents, workers and visitors;

• Tackling the issues of climate change and delivering a low- carbon economy in a manner that is both environmentally and economically sustainable and;

• Improving both actual and perceived personal safety and security.

• Providing greater connectivity for alternative transport methods such as walking and cycling to aid healthier lifestyles, reduce congestion and improving public safety whilst walking and cycling.

A5 Summary In no more than 100 words, please described the problem(s) that the scheme is scheme description addressing, and what the scheme will provide in order to address this problem(s).

Princess Road / Mancunian Way junction scheme is proposed with the objectives of increasing junction capacity, better management of traffic flows and creation of a safe environment for vulnerable users (pedestrians and cyclists).

The current junction arrangement and subway provision has been a key barrier in hindering the promotion of walking and cycling movements. By providing direct at-graded pedestrian and cycle facilities, this will enhance the existing walking and cycling facilities and open up opportunities in improving pedestrian and cycle connectivity from the City Centre to its surrounding regions.

A6 Cost summary Please summarise the scheme finances, in terms of ‘ask’ of MCF, and the total funding from other sources (‘local funding’) over the 4 years of the MCF programme

A8 Scheme type Please indicate which of the following descriptions most accurately describes the scheme: ☐ A new scheme which currently doesn’t have any other funding associated with it and is at initial concept stage ☐ A new scheme, which currently doesn’t have any other funding associated with it, but has been developed beyond initial concept stage ☒ A new scheme which is already part funded, for which MCF funding is sought to fill a funding ‘gap’ ☐ An existing scheme for which MCF funding is sought for additional scope ☐ An existing scheme for which MCF funding is sought because the original scope cannot be delivered within the original budget

Please provide below the details of any funding gaps in existing schemes, and why they have arisen.

At time of the original funding application in August 2017, the scheme cost was estimated at £8.211 million, of which £4,999,000 is funded from the National Productivity Investment Fund, with MCC providing £2.7million to match. Further design development and site investigations were undertaken during outline design stage in July 2018, the scheme cost is now estimated at £9.7 million. To avoid de-scoping from the current scheme layout, such as reducing the junction footprint by removing most of the dedicated cycle facilities. In order to retain the cycle network connectivity benefit envisaged, we are seeking funding from the Mayor’s Cycle & Walking fund to the sum of £2.9million which will bridge the gap and enable delivery of the project as illustrated at the outline design, provide a proportion of risk along with £500 thousand for renewals of highways equipment to ensure the scheme continues to operate.

A9 Full scheme Please expand on your answer to A5 to provide a fuller understanding of the description scheme. Please include both a description of the existing conditions for current users, and a summary of the scheme and the benefits it will provide.

The Princess Road / A57 (M) Mancunian Way junction improvement scheme is located to the south of Manchester City Centre. The A57(M) Mancunian Way, running east-west, is a two mile long elevated motorway bridge which runs from the A635 Ring Road (from the east) to Regent Road / Trinity Way junction (to the west) linking the M602, the M60 and the M67 motorways. The A57 (M) Mancunian Way route forms part of the MSIRR – Manchester Inner Ring Road, running south of the City Centre.

There is currently considerable queuing and delay at this junction particularly during peak times. The current junction arrangement and subway provision has been a key barrier in hindering the promotion of walking and cycling movements. By providing at-graded pedestrian and cycle facilities, this will enhance the existing walking and cycling facilities and open up opportunities in improving pedestrian and cycle connectivity from the City Centre to its surrounding regions.

The proposed site improvement strategy involves infilling of the existing subways and providing safe at-grade crossings for both pedestrians and

7 Version: 18 October 2018

cyclists. This would require filling the central island to at-grade level with existing / proposed roads while maintaining sufficient and adequate headroom beneath the elevated Mancunian Way motorway bridge.

Further improvement works at the junction aim to convert the existing roundabout into a signalised roundabout with the introduction of two new links which are northbound towards Medlock Street and eastbound towards Mancunian Way East. The speed limit is proposed to remain at 30mph. At grade pedestrian and cycle facilities will be provided to improve the accessibility between the City Centre and neighbourhoods to the south of the City. The facilities will be a mixture of segregated pedestrian/ cycle tracks and shared-use spaces. An access side-road with two maintenance bays is proposed on the northbound link of the junction to allow vehicles access to maintain the Two Towers and signal equipment facilities.

The improvement scheme will increase capacity at the junction for all traffic, particularly during the weekday peak periods, providing journey time and reliability benefits for business users and transport service providers.

Other benefits as a result of this improvement scheme include reduced carbon emission for enhanced air quality, and also encouragement of sustainable transport options. In general, this scheme will improve the accessibility in and out of the City Centre thereby encouraging changes in travel mode across the integrated transport infrastructure within Greater Manchester. This improvement work will also be a catalyst to employment opportunities within the City Centre, and supporting the delivery of new housing units, yielding an economic growth for the region.

The use of green space within the junction area will not only improve the aesthetic appearance, but also encourage the general public to use the dedicated footways and consider walking through the area to reach their destinations. This alternative method of travelling will aid a healthier lifestyle for the users whilst improving the safety of their travels.

Providing dedicated cycle facilities will improve connectivity from the City Centre to its surrounding areas and help to alleviate congestion and have a positive effect on the environment. Route 6 is a key route that connects the southern region of Manchester including Levenshulme, Whalley Range, Hulme to the northern side of the City including Salford, Radcliffe, Bury and into the areas of Rossendale and Blackburn. This is a major route as it passes through many areas hence improving the focal point of this route is key to promote healthier transport mode and increase the number of cyclists

A10 Funding The Mayor’s Cycling & Walking Challenge fund is proposed to be split into the Objectives following two broad themes: Active Centres and Corridors; and Active Neighbourhoods. Please indicate which of these you feel the scheme best fits:

B2 Key What are the principal expected outcomes from the scheme (for example, Deliverables: additional numbers of trips by bike or on foot on the route)? Please quantify outcomes these as far as possible.

Currently, the pedestrian subways are under minimal use by both cyclists and pedestrians, as the existing arrangement is perceived dangerous and not attracting This has created a key barrier in promoting walking and cycling at this strategic location. The proposed scheme comprises of one Kilometre of pedestrians and cycle spaces each which are brought to ground level with controlled safe crossings. Furthermore, connectivity for on foot and bike trips is enhanced by the provision of multi routes in between the four neighbourhoods surrounding the junction corners. Thus, it is expected that the scheme will attract and facilitate active mode of transport at the junction with the proposed user-friendly, safer and welcoming facilities, as well as increase connectivity between the surrounding neighbourhoods from/to the City Centre, and also improve the current Route 6 provision, which is a key route that connects the southern region of Manchester including Levenshulme, Whalley Range, Hulme to the northern side of the City including Salford, Radcliffe, Bury and into the areas of Rossendale and Blackburn.

B3 Strategic Impact To what extent is the programme likely to increase walking and cycling, and reduce short car trips?

The scheme aims to enhance safety for pedestrian crossings and provide pedestrian friendly facilities within the junction extents. Furthermore, it aims to provide flexibility in route choosing between the surrounding neighbourhoods. Connectivity is promoted for cyclists too between existing facilities on Princess Road and those on Medlock Street; i.e. northbound and southbound connectivity, and connectivity from/to the junction from surrounding neighbourhoods. The way the cycling lanes is designed, aims to endorse an enhanced user experience and safer cycling routes for all. Hence, the above measures are expected to increase walking over short car trips by introducing flexible, safer and shorter routes toward/from city centre; limited to car trips originated/destined from neighbourhoods on both sides of Princess road. On the other hand, the cycling facilities are expected to attract additional cycling trips toward the city centre, which is aimed to replace car trips - up to 2 miles of the south of Princess Road.

B4 Level of service A Greater Manchester Streets for All Check is in development and will be used to inform future decisions on design quality in relation to the Mayor’s Cycling and Walking Challenge Fund. Please answer the following questions to enable

14 Version: 18 October 2018

an informed view to be taken with regard to the level of service provided to pedestrians and cyclists associated with scheme proposals.

How will you ensure a high level of service on links, side roads and signalised junctions on:

1. Scheme elements on roads with >4,000 vehicles per day? The existing roundabout is already operating over capacity with long queues. The introduction of signals control, additional lanes and short cut-through links within the existing roundabout will improve junction capacity, reduce delay and travel distances. Modelling exercise was carried out and demonstrated enhanced practical reserved capacity of the junction, under this scheme.

2. Scheme elements on roads with <4,000 vehicles per day?

N/A

3. Traffic free scheme elements? Enhancing connectivity between communities, promoting active mode of transport with safer and flexible routes, as well as, improving the user experience.
