TIME is running out for York residents wanting a say on how improvements could be made to a major junction in the city.

More than 5,000 questionnaires about the scheme to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and road users in Blossom Street and Queen Street have already been completed online and by post.

The consultation follows the results of a survey last year, which showed that people felt this junction was one of the most dangerous in the city for cyclists. In addition to the options listed in the consultation, the council is also working to develop a new route from Holgate Road, into York Railway Station and beyond, via Lowther Terrace and the station car park.

This would provide cyclists and pedestrians with an alternative means of getting to the station, without having to use Blossom Street. For further information and to fill in the questionnaire, log on to york.gov.uk/blossomstreet. Responses must be returned by March 26.
