Our strategy
- To persuade B&NES to continue to change the Julian Road architecture (road layout, surfacing materials, signage and design) in a series of unified phases which utilise the "shared space" approach as the means to reducing traffic speeds and encouraging drivers and pedestrians to engage in eye contact and agree priorities.
- To act in partnership with B&NES, demonstrating community support for our goals, participating in and influencing design and facilitating private funding to supplement B&NES's budget for the project.
- To educate our community (residents, school children, parents and local businesses) as to how most effectively to behave within the "shared space" area.
- To encourage our community when driving and/or walking to engage with the space in an exemplary fashion and thereby affect the behaviour of visitors and transient traffic.
- To communicate our Goals and Strategy within our community to ensure widespread understanding and support. (Community meetings, news letters, posters, website etc.)
- To organise community-building activities to strengthen the sense of ownership over the areas involved.
Hi,
I am studying an MSc course in Accessibility and Inclusive Design, and am currently working on an assignment about designing for accessibility and inclusiveness. One aspect I am looking at for this is the concept of shared space. I am wondering if anyone has any photographs of the Julian Road area that I could use? Any photos, or thoughts on shared space, gratefully received!
Jessica Davies.
