Oxford: A420 Botley Road - proposed cycle-lane amendments

We're asking for your views on the proposal to remove the existing narrow mandatory cycle lane on the southern side of the A420 Botley Road (between the boundary of Nos.174/172 and its junction with Alexandra Road) and replace it with a new wider ‘advisory’ cycle lane.

The proposal is being put forward due to Oxfordshire County Council undertaking a resurfacing scheme – planned for October 2024 – a part of which includes the opportunity to make improvements to highway road markings in order to help improve road safety and the environment for pedal-cyclists.

Have your say.

Please read the detailed information provided on this consultation and take the time to complete the survey as your views and opinions matter. Your response should be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 09 August 2024.

Whilst we will endeavor to answer simple queries during the course of the consultation, any more complex questions/issues will be appraised and dealt with as part of consultation process.

What happens next?

The County Council will review the responses and if necessary (i.e. if objections are received) prepare a report to be presented to the Cabinet Member for Highway Management at a meeting scheduled for later in 2024. This will be public meeting at which members of the public may apply to speak. The agenda and reports for meetings will be made available on the Oxfordshire County Council web site about a week before the meeting (please note that occasionally it is necessary to defer reports to a later meeting, and it is therefore advisable to check the agenda ahead of attending a meeting).
