HEATON & OUSEBURN

Heaton Park View, Warwick Street & Heaton Park RoadWhat’s the idea?Heaton Park View is a busy route for people walking towards the city centre from Heaton but crossing the side streets can be awkward, particularly for people with pushchairs or in wheelchairs.

The junction of Shaftesbury Grove and Heaton Park View is very wide. This makes it difficult to cross safely, there are no dropped curbs and a railing which partially blocks the pavement. Introducing a blended footway (all one level) here would make crossing the road a lot safer and wouldn’t affect the traffic. Installing a zebra crossing here will make access to the park safer as well as allowing people to cross easily before the pavement stops on the north side of Heaton Park View. This is an improvement over the current traffic island as it allows people to cross the road in one go.

The end of Tintern Crescent has had some improvement work in the past and the proposed changes would bring this up to modern standards. The addition of trees should improve the appearance of the street and make it less obvious as a through route.

Heaton Park access from the top of Warwick Street This is currently a problematic area for people trying to get into and out of the Park. It is often difficult to cross, and it is currently impossible to cycle along Heaton Park Road and into the Park. The proposals don’t solve the problem entirely, as there are several restrictions on what can change due to limited space and because this is a bus route. However, through minor tweaks (such as putting in a dropped kerb at the lights, so that cyclists can access the park from Heaton Park Road, and a new crossing directly into the park) some useful changes have been suggested. The size of the pavement outside the park – which is currently road – has been increased for example. No cars ever use this area as they are all turning the corner to go up Heaton Park View.

As the sequence of the traffic signals will not change the suggested designs will have very little, if any, negative impact on road users.

Proposed Stage Sequence Diagram

A local group have been working with an Urban Designer to turn your ideas about improving the experience of getting around in Heaton and Ouseburn into a set of proposals.

The ideas include new pedestrian crossings; segregated cycle lanes; decluttering footways and improving public spaces. The designs add value to schemes that already exist by connecting up sections of routes and making walking or cycling an attractive choice to reach local schools, shops and services.

The project is motivated by people who want children to be able to walk, scoot or ride to school, be able to play out in the streets where they live and grow up breathing cleaner air. All of this requires a reduction in the amount of traffic on our residential streets – less through traffic and for local residents, more walking or cycling for short distances with in the neighbourhood – we can all do our bit!

So go on line and visit www.streetsforpeople.org.uk and have a look the neighbourhood plan for Heaton and Ouseburn. There’s information about the schemes, there’s drawings and surveys to record your feedback.

Or, you can visit the display in Martha & Mary’s Café 212, Chillingham Road or phone 0191 277 7681 for more information.
