This report seeks approval from the Director of Environment and Sustainability for amendments to the Arlington Road Area Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN). The amendments concern a motor vehicle access restriction from Inverness Street into Arlington Road. The proposed amendments concern i) the replacement of the existing motor vehicle entry restriction at Mornington Place junction with Mornington Crescent, with a motor vehicle traffic restriction at the junction with Clarkson Row/Mornington Terrace and ii) the conversion of ‘Paid for’ parking spaces to ‘Shared’ parking spaces on Albert Street, Arlington Road and Mornington Street, so that both permit holders in the CPZ zone and those seeking to use ‘paid for’ parking bays can use these bays to park. The proposed amendments constitute a direct response to comments received from the public during the trial period for the Arlington Road Area LTN. Should a decision be taken to proceed with the proposed measures, these would be implemented by an Experimental Traffic Order amending the existing Experimental Traffic Order.
The aims of the amendments are aligned to the aims of the Arlington Road Area LTN, outlined in a previous Officer Decision Report. The proposed parking changes aim to balance the geographic demand for residents’ parking spaces with the need for paid for spaces for visitors in the area. The proposals meet the objectives of Our Camden Plan by creating clean, vibrant and sustainable places and making it easier for people to travel more on foot or by bicycle.
THAT the Director of Environment and Sustainability, having considered the proposals in relation to the objectives set out in the Report ‘COVID-19 response: enabling safe travel in Camden’, and Camden Council’s powers under Section 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, approves the proposals set out in section 2 of this report.
