Nellie Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Two lots of Strategic Board minutes have been added to the website for April and May. https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/myprom.im/21-05-07-signed-douglas-promenade-project-board-minutes_redacted.pdf https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/myprom.im/21-04-09-signed-douglas-promenade-project-board-minutes_redacted.pdf A few highlights:- The target date for completion is 28/8, but Black insists it should be 26/8 ahead of the bank holiday weekend. They still don't have an acceptable solution to the cracked concrete. Siemens have given up trying to design a traffic light solution for the trams. There was nothing wrong with the rail lines that were ripped up - the problem was with the welding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly there not optimistic for finishing on August 28th and I would agree they have no chance. Nothing much flagged up on quality of work either which worries me as in many areas not addressed its terrible.

doc.fixit Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Or a shared space on the prom! Car parking segregated from the millions of pedestrians that don't exist. Tongue in cheek of course but I do think a shared space, on the prom, peds. segregated from parking...........IMO plenty of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No traffic lights - no horse trams? Given that the lack of the traffic lights was flagged up as a significant failing and non-modern compliant previously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of diagonal on the sea side means about 50% gone there and the hotel side seems to be taxis, buses and loading so Yes, lots of parking gone.....

Would they of had to have traffic lights/signaling system if the horse tram tracks were kept completely separate to road? Or are they a requirement of going from double to single lane?
