Concerned that 1 way traffic would exceed 20mph on laurelwood ave as there wouldn't be any oncoming traffic to limit speeds

• 20mph speed limit

• Protected, separate cycle and walking spaces

• False one-way traffic flow on Laurelwood Avenue

What should we improve or change in Idea B?

This is good as it allows residents easier access to their homes, and the northbound traffic flow on laurelwood ave. could help limit southbound traffic speeds

Could this idea be extended such thst there are no footpaths even? Ie one large open space where pedestriand and non powered transport has priority?

I think the one-way traffic solution is the neatest solution and would definitely improve the cycling routes to Berryden and Kittybrewster. I suspect there will be objections to one-way, but a solution to the Laurelwood Avenue traffic clutter is needed.

What should we improve or change in Idea B?

I think parking on one side of Laurelwood and the reduction of northern traffic to residents only is an improvement. I don't think the eastern end of AR remaining two-way is as sensible or environmentally pleasing as one-way.

What should we improve or change in Idea C?

As a cyclist who used to cycle to and from work across Aberdeen, I would always try and find quiet streets rather than cycle routes and busier roads. I like the concept and hope that motorists will change their attitudes! I am always very wary near parked cars, due to motorists opening doors and pulling out of spaces without checking for cyclists.

What should we improve or change in Idea A?

The parking bays between May Baird Avenue and Laurelwood Avenue are on the wrong side of the road for most local residents needing on-street parking, are too far from their properties and by extending further than at present into regions not overlooked by windows are prone to vandalism such as scratching panels and damaging wing mirrors and windscreen wipers. Any 2m mixed parking/tree zone should involve felling large trees that would overhang cars and replacing them with a larger number of small trees, some perhaps in the more general area. Mountain ash/rowan trees as currently planted in places are unsuitable due to an observed proneness to disease. Siberian birches as in Broad Street or if cost is prohibitive silver birches would be attractive. "More trees and greenspace" should refer to the part of the road between Laurelwood Avenue and Berryden Road.

What do you like about Idea B?

• 20mph speed limit

What should we improve or change in Idea B?

Move parking bays to south side of road as suggested for Idea A. Less trees and greenspace only benefits residents of 1-19 Ashgrove Road if parking bays are in this position. All ideas reduce the number of parking bays but this does much more so because of the loss of two-sided parking at the bottom of Laurelwood Avenue. Find a way to make the parking capacity equivalent to Idea A or better still to the current situation or more.

What should we improve or change in Idea C?

Out of a total of 6m of footway it should be possible in places to have 2m of off-carriageway parking on both sides of the road and 2 x 2m footways.

Consider more, smaller trees in the general area including east of Laurelwood Avenue rather than slavishly refuse to fell any existing large tree west of it.
