THE SCHEDULE TO THE SCHEME

Article 3 Plans and specification of the Oxpens River Thames Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge The location and general design of the Oxpens River Thames Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge are shown on the plans numbered OXPEN-STN-GEN-ALL-RP-S-0101 PO2 and OXPEN-STN-GEN-ALL-RP-S-0102 PO1 annexed hereto. POINTS OF COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION The bridge is located with its northern abutment adjacent to the Oxford Ice Rink (Postal Code OX1 1RX), and its southern abutment within Grandpont Nature Park. From the Northern abutment, the bridge projects across the floodplains of the Oxpens Meadow and continues over the River Thames to land in the Grandpont Nature Park. With a structure references No. 6118, the bridge is located at Ordnance Survey Co-ordinates E450815 N205666 (SP 50815 05666). SPAN The structure has 5 spans: 1 span between the southern abutment and the southern pier 13.95 metres; 1 main span of 37.5 metres over the Thames and 3 spans over the flood plain between the pier on the northern side of the Thames and the northern abutment each 15.78 metres of length. HEADWAY The minimum sofit level of the bridge is 58.6 metres Above Ordnance Datum giving a 400 millimetre clearance above the current air-draught requirement of the upstream railway bridge at 58.20 metres Above Ordnance Datum upstream. Downstream, air draught requirements are set by the Gasworks Bridge at 58.40 metres Above Ordnance Datum. The sofit of the deck remains relatively level across the entire water span rising in a maximum mid channel, with the minimum headway at the north and south banks. WATERWAY No reduction to the existing clear navigable waterway between the southern bank and the northern bank is proposed. OVERALL DIMENSIONS The overall length of the bridge including parapet sections on the abutments, will be 111.6 metres. The bridge will at its maximum be a width 4.8 metres and will accommodate a 3.5 metres shared user facility. The bridge will be bounded by 1.4 metres high parapets on either side of the bridge, with structural arched sections raising above this to a height from the deck of 2.355 metres and 61.31 metres Above Ordnance Datum.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
