Local Transport Strategy Consultation 2007

Aberdeen City Council Final Draft Local Transport Strategy 2008 – 2012

Earlier this year Aberdeen City Council consulted on a Consultative Draft Local Transport Strategy (LTS), which was prepared in recognition that there was a need to have a proper debate on the pros and cons of specific interventions that could be implemented through the LTS to address local challenges and needs. The results from the consultation process on the Consultative Draft LTS have been analysed and a Consultation Report is available for download via the links below. This Report summarises the main results from this consultation exercise and outlines how the results have been taken on board to prepare the Final Draft LTS.

The Final Draft LTS, which can be downloaded via the links below, has been influenced by the results of the consultation and presents the Council’s vision and objectives for improving the City’s transport system and sets out a comprehensive list of actions and policies which we will strive to implement and work by during the period 2008 – 2012.

The Final Draft LTS considers issues such as travel planning, walking, cycling, public transport, road maintenance, road safety, parking and freight. Some more innovative measures to potentially improve the city’s transport network, such as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes and Large Vehicle Lanes, are also discussed. Concentration is also given to the type of interventions that could be implemented to lock-in the benefits of the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route.

A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has also been undertaken to consider the environmental impacts of the Final Draft LTS and the Environmental Report can also be downloaded via the links below.
