A tunnel would be the ideally with a distribution centre outside the city to prevent the large lorries coming into the centre. This plan is the next best. Other plans do nothing to reduce traffic.

Cut traffic pollution in the City and retain all heritage and modern buildings of architectural merit by their re-use, restoration or re-design.

There is a golden opportunity to remove the dangerous level crossings, either with a bridge or underpasses or both. Please consider the comments made at the meeting on August 3rd.

I reject the council's proposals as they are dull and unimaginative. This is such an important issue more time and professional input is required. I suggest that you commission a report from the planners who delivered the presentation at the assembly hall last night.

In principle this is a positive move forward. I would like to see an iconic bridge that became a Chichester landmark rather a disguised flyover.
If this took design clues from the City it may enhance the tourist interest whilst removing dangerous, out of date and industrial looking level crossings.

Opportunity to eliminate congestion and pollution at level crossings must not be missed. Significant Twentieth century buildings should be as much part of Chichester's heritage for the future as those which are older. All listed structures should be retained, albeit with other uses.

The Southern Gateway Masterplan Consultation is the best opportunity for many years to come to provide a tunnel or a bridge to replace the level crossings and to fail in this would be a big mistake.

Do it NOW - in spite of the alleged "affordability" it will NEVER be less expensive than now.

I really hope this happens, I am so fed up with trying to get out of chichester in rush hour; it often takes me an hour to travel the 8 miles home due to being stuck in traffic the other side of the level crossing!

We can only hope this forward thinking plan comes to fruition. If the level crossings are not closed they will continue to choke the city and strangle the last few breaths out of it. The CDC scheme is totally flawed and takes no account of the need to reduce traffic congestion a d pollution.

A much better solution. We must address the congestion caused by the level crossing at the station.

I have studied both options put forward by CDC, your freeflow suggestion not only makes sense it is the only solution that is worth proceeding with.

The congestion problem in Chichester will never be solved whilst the level crossings are in constant use. Currently they are closed for approximately 50% of the working day.

I totally agree with a road bridge to replace the current level crossing. This should have been done at the time of the removal of the gasometer but housing was more lucrative. What price reduction in air pollution? This could be the last chance.
