Buckinghamshire Council has completed a long-awaited traffic scheme on Camborne Avenue in Aylesbury.
The entire length of Camborne Avenue, from the roundabout with Wendover Road to Ingram Avenue, has now been resurfaced and relined. Bedgrove Road, which adjoins Camborne Avenue, was resurfaced last year.
The zebra crossing between Turnfurlong Lane and Bodiam Close has been converted to a puffin crossing, the existing belisha beacons have been removed and replaced with new traffic signals with sensors to detect pedestrians and give them extra time if they need it to finish crossing. The crossing point has also been converted and widened so it is ready for a future cycle route connection.
In addition to supporting the road network using safe and reliable systems, the new signals use LED technology and Extra Low Voltage equipment providing further energy efficiency and an enhanced life-cycle duration.
Buckinghamshire Council's Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Transport, Councillor Steven Broadbent said:
"In 2020, Buckinghamshire Council (BC) was awarded Housing Infrastructure Funding (HIF) from Homes England, which included an allocation of £1.897m for improvements to active travel infrastructure across Aylesbury.
We have already overseen significant investment in active travel infrastructure for the town, making it easier for people to walk, wheel or cycle for local journeys. Recent achievements include the extension and upgrade of the Platinum Way, the new St Peter's Greenway and HIF-funded upgrades to the Aylesbury Canal Towpath. With this further £250K now released from the Aylesbury HIF Capital Programme budget, we have been able to complete the work to design and upgrade this crossing point as part of active travel improvements between Aylesbury town centre and Bedgrove.
Active travel and connectivity for people between where they live, work and spend leisure time remains an infrastructure priority for the council."
