Stakeholders and Council officials met today in a public meeting to discuss the latest visitor research findings on the George Street experimental lay-out.
The figures were compiled by interviewing 100 people each month in March, April and May this year.
Attached below are the raw data presented at the meeting, and a presentation by CEC’s Iain MacPhail.
Summarising what had been learned from the trial so far, MacPhail highlighted:
- Civic uses should not be permanently blocked by private/corporate structures/enclosures
- Desirability of improved cycle facilities and segregated cycle lane
- Importance of accessibility
- Majority support for limited retention of car parking spaces
- Flexible patterns of use for different times of year
- Need for clutter-free access
- Barriers needed to exclude non-compliant drivers
- Buses and taxis found fault with experimental layout
- Need to facilitate cross-city traffic, especially at Hanover Street.
