Aberdeen 'spaces for people' to be reviewed early next year
The temporary Spaces for People physical distancing interventions in the city centre, Rosemount, George Street and Torry are to be monitored and a review brought before committee in February, an Aberdeen City Council committee has agreed.
Aberdeen City Council say they will review the remaining road lay-out changes for 'spaces for people' in February, after they agreed to remove one of it's features now.
The members on city growth and resources committee also agreed at a meeting yesterday to the removal of the temporary cycle lane at the Beach Esplanade, leaving the one-way system between the Beach Boulevard and Wellington Street.
Aberdeen City Council city growth and resources committee convener Councillor Douglas Lumsden said: “The health and wellbeing of citizens has been at the forefront of all our minds since COVID-19 started affecting people in the UK.
“We commend what officers have achieved in all services, whether planning, design or implementation, to install the Spaces for People measures in such a short space of time while they were all under lockdown restrictions – our staff have gone above and beyond.
“We hope the city and wider region will have low numbers of people affected by COVID-19 in the coming months and a future report to committee about the Spaces for People interventions will set out these figures.”
