The operation of this would also need some discussion with the retail park management. Design Changes 4.1 As a result of the consultation, changes have been made to the layout (see Appendix 3), the bus stops on the Bennion Road side will no longer me in a shallow saw tooth formation but will be positioned along the kerb line parallel with the road. The cycle way will remain on the road but due to the improvements to the bus stops and the addition of a stop, this should resolve the issue of buses overhanging the cycle lane. Other works to the surfacing and bus stop information will go ahead as originally planned. 4.2 Changes have had to be made to the Rutherford Road side due to us not being able to acquire the land required. Like Bennion Road, the buses will now pull up parallel with the kerb instead of in a shallow saw tooth arrangement. We have had to reduce bus stops on this side from 4 to 3 although this is still an improvement and we have had to reduce the size of 2 of the bus shelters to single length. 4.3 Although the design has been changed and reduced by 1 bus stop, it is still a much improved facility from what is currently on site. 5. Financial Implications 5.1 The project is funded by the LSTF budget and Ashton Green development contributions.
