Changes could soon be made to a busy York road next to two schools.

City of York Council is asking for residents’ views on a plan to restrict parking and improve pedestrian and cycling access.

Local residents and businesses will soon receive information about the proposed changes, known at the council as a ‘People’s Street’ scheme.

“The aim of the project is to improve the environment for pedestrians, cyclists and mini-scooter users on Ostman Road near Carr Junior and Infant schools by reducing the impact of traffic,” council documents state.

“The project is needed to improve safety and accessibility for children and parents affiliated with Carr Junior and Infant schools.

“Vehicles associated with the school drop-off and pick-up clog up Ostman Road and discourage children and parents from walking, cycling and scooting to school.”

Proposed work includes:

  • Parking restrictions between designated gateways along Ostman Road, with an aim to reduce the impact of traffic outside schools
  • Improved environment to make walking and cycling to school safer and more appealing.

The consultation for this scheme remains open from 1 June – 30 June. At the end of the consultation, feedback will be reported to the executive member for transport to decide which elements of design proposals will be further developed.
