If You Build It

SAFETY measures are set to be carried out to eliminate blindspots at the entrance to a car park at Bradford Interchange.

The planning proposal, submitted by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to Bradford Council, calls for the removal of nine metres of a glazed lean-to lightwell and associated dwarf supporting wall over the underground short stay car park.

It is hoped the move will boost visibility lines of the car park entrance and exit at the Bridge Street site and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians.

A suspended infill deck would also be built within the void.

People will not be able to climb the wall as the application features the installation of powder-coated railings.

After the supporting wall and section of lightwell have been removed, the retaining wall between the car park and highway will be reduced to its maximum limit of 60cm from ground level.

The exposed internal face of the retaining wall will be given a stone cladding finish.

The proposal has been welcomed by bus company First.

A First spokesman said: "The safety of all our customers, staff and other road users is a priority at First and therefore we welcome improvements that improves road safety."

Bradford Interchange has seen several accidents over recent years.

ESCONDIDO (CNS) - A 33-year-old man who died after he crashed his sports car into a concrete retaining wall in south Escondido was identified Friday.

Eric Robert Anderson of Escondido was alone in his silver Nissan 50Z when he crashed the small vehicle into a concrete retaining wall in the area of Via Rancho Parkway and Camino del Postigo around 10:10 p.m. Thursday, according to Escondido police Lt. Justin Murphy.

"(He) was driving westbound on Via Rancho Parkway from the area of Interstate 15 at a high rate of speed," Murphy said in a statement. "It appears Anderson lost control of the vehicle and hit the retaining wall while in a sideways uncontrolled skid, with the impact causing the car to flip onto the roof."

Anderson suffered significant head injuries for which he was taken to Palomar Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead by emergency room staff, Murphy said, adding alcohol did not appear to be a factor.
