Purpose:
A Hereford City Masterplan framework will help
Hereford to become a more active travel city in the short, medium
and long term.
A specialist consultant would be required to take on the Transport
planning and design element of this masterplan to help contribute
to a high level action plan for action in short, medium and long
term as well as to undertake testing of the impact of a prioritised
action plan on motor traffic movements.
To do this, consultants will need to review relevant existing
information and gather their own evidence in able to reach a
reasonable level of knowledge to feed in to the masterplan final
document.
As outlined in the Cabinet report, a decision was taken to review
the transport movements throughout the City. A specialised
transport planning and design consultant will have the expertise to
identify transport movement patterns and constraints as well as to
undertake data sufficiency exercises to determine what appropriate
assumptions will need to be made to form a comprehensive baseline
design and principal going forward.
