Is it only me that thinks that there are no traffic issues? Let’s be real, we have plans in for approval for a Community Stadium that is positioned alongside a main road, with a fantastic bus service serving Summertown and Kidlington. A Community Stadium that’s sits just a walking distance from a main line railway station. A Community Stadium that is walking distance of 2 P&R sites that can accommodate 1000s of cars. A Community Stadium that sits close to the A34, A40 and the M40. A Community Stadium that is served by a railway that has connections to Oxford Station, Bicester Station and London.
We keep hearing about a pedestrian bridge being the main obstacle to the Community Stadium being approved, why is a bridge that important? The easiest and most cost effective solution is for limited diversion of none essential traffic at some of the less busy times.
Sorry, but for me this Community Stadium will be the best situated Stadium in the UK for both travel and sustainability and I cannot for the life of me see how anyone could see this fantastic project failing due to traffic/transport infrastructure.
That’s how I see it, but I could be wrong.
PS I purposely use the word COMMUNITY as that’s what OUFC is hoping to build.
