I work nearby to Markeaton Island. Whilst by no means will the effects of any improvements and the disruption during the improvements to the Island will affect me personally. I am fully aware and have witnessed many RTCs, had to report RTCs to the police and have witnessed many near-misses at that Island. Improvements ARE needed. The issues I'd like to raise are the following: - No alternative suggestions were provided for Markeaton Island in regards to the improvement scheme of the A38 in Derby. - Having seen the plans proposed - grade-separation would alleviate the majority of problems of local and long-distance traffic 'clashing'. I think it could be done with less expense. I would like to register as an interested party to give my own experience of the traffic on the Island (as a pedestrian) and also to suggest alternatives that may appear 'outside of the box' but have worked elsewhere in the world.
