RESIDENTS are being invited to have their say on a number of road safety proposals near two schools.
Flintshire Council's call for views comes after a successful bid to the Welsh Government for funding to help address road safety concerns and congestion around the areas of Ysgol Estyn and Castell Alun High School.
The proposals include:
- Introduction of a 3m shared use pathway along the length of the A550 from Penyffordd roundabout connecting to the existing footway provision at Mountain View housing estate.
- Toucan Crossing over the A550 Wrexham Road.
- Design improvements to a number of junctions in the area which will improve safety and visibility of vulnerable users.
- Improvements around Castell Alun High school and Ysgol Estyn including: a 20mph speed limit, cycle friendly traffic calming measures, parking restrictions along Stryt Isa and Fagl Lane, improved footpaths around the school
- Introduction of an ‘Access Only’ restriction to prevent motorists using it as a ‘rat run’.
- •A right turn lane facility on Kinnerton Lane.
A council spokesman said: "In the current situation, we are unable to hold face-to-face consultation events.
"However, we do want to hear what you think about the proposals, so we are asking you to view the proposals online at www.flintshire.gov.uk/SafeRoutesHope and provide your comments.
"If you don’t have access to a computer, please 01352 701234 to request further information.
"The consultation opens on October 4 and runs until midnight on November 1."
