6. Public Consultation (end 2018)
The three principle questions proposed by the public consultation were:
Principle location of additional Park and Ride capacity: new site or existing site.
Public Vehicle Access: new bridge or existing bridge.
Private Vehicle Access: do less, do medium or do most.

7. Public Consultation - Site Options

8. Public Consultation - Site Options
92% of respondents felt there was a need to improve bus, cycling and walking journeys to the South West of Cambridge to help ease congestion in and out of the city centre and CBC. 71% (almost exactly the same as recorded in 2016) of respondents supported the option of a new Park and Ride site West of M11 Junction 11

9. Public Consultation - Public Transport Access

10. Public Consultation - Public Transport Access
The majority (67%) of respondents supported ‘public transport access using the existing bridge, whereas less than half (44%) of respondents supported ‘public transport access requiring a new bridge structure.

11. Public Consultation - Access Arrangements

12. Public Consultation - Access Arrangements
Over half of respondents supported the more significant access arrangements to provide vehicle access to the site, with an even greater level of support recorded for enhancing slip lane and dedicated access to the existing site (59% and 58% respectively).

13. Site Selection - OBC
The OBC considers the Public consultation, Environmental factors, cost and economic benefits as a wider assessment. It reports that the best performing option constitutes:
A new Travel Hub site
General traffic access/egress from one or potentially two new junctions on the A10.
A dedicated left turn lane will operate from the A10 at Hauxton into the Travel Hub site.
There will also be additional free flow left turn lanes from both motorways and off slips.
Buses will cross the motorway using the existing accommodation bridge to the north and will then route alongside the southbound off slip.
