Step 2 - The whole estuaryside
site is very limited on space and one of the key considerations should
be how to open
up as much space as possible. One solution is to reroute Marine Way
as shown above. This immediately increases the potential development
space by the area coloured in yellow. Another benefit of this layout
is that vehicles will be routed straight to the car parks instead
of passing in front of the supermarket. In turn this means that shoppers
will not have to cross the traffic when walking in into the town
centre.
Note: Visitors to the town are now turned
towards the estuary and its magnificent views before parking their
cars. If the Visitor Centre is built on the Recreation Ground as
currently proposed it will be in view of approaching traffic and
may even attract some additional visitors who, under the old road
layout, might have gone straight on to the seafront without noticing
it.
