English: Can I thank Mark Isherwood for his questions regarding this particular scheme? I should just point out as well, Dirprwy Lywydd, that, of course, increasing the availability of road space in north Wales on the A55 was a key feature of the UK Conservative Party manifesto, so it should be recognised that Mark Isherwood's own party is supportive of measures that would see increased volumes of traffic in north Wales on that key artery, the express way. What we're trying to do with the red route is to take existing traffic away from a key artery and put it onto another artery, so that we can then create a sustainable public transport and active travel solution for the most urban populated area of north Wales. Mark Isherwood is right to say that COVID-19 has had an impact in terms of community engagement. It had been our intention to hold public information events during the spring of this year. But, of course, that couldn't take place as a result of the pandemic, but we're continuously reviewing our community and stakeholder engagement activity to ensure that all interested parties are updated regularly and, of course, safely, as our work on this scheme gathers pace. In terms of some of the alternative suggestions that have been raised, we've looked into every alternative suggestion that has been raised with us - some quite enormous alternative schemes, others smaller schemes designed to address pinchpoints. But this route was determined to be the most suitable for the challenge that we face in that particular area of Wales. And in regard to traffic and transport surveys, they are regularly conducted. Further transport and traffic surveys will be undertaken, particularly with regard to assessing how coronavirus might have affected transport and traffic volumes in the long term. But it should be noted, equally, that on the A55, volumes increased back to pre-COVID levels in August of this year, demonstrating that the A55 is very different to the M4 in that it has a far higher volume of traffic associated with the visitor economy and also haulage, and, of course, traffic associated, particularly in north-east Wales, with manufacturing industries as well, which aren't, unfortunately, as well catered for with remote working hubs as clerical work can be. So, it is a unique project for a unique problem.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Mark Isherwood am ei gwestiynau ynglŷn â'r cynllun penodol hwn? Dylwn nodi hefyd, Ddirprwy Lywydd, fod cynyddu'r gofod ffordd sydd ar gael yng ngogledd Cymru ar yr A55 yn nodwedd allweddol ym maniffesto Plaid Geidwadol y DU wrth gwrs, felly dylid cydnabod bod plaid Mark Isherwood ei hun yn cefnogi mesurau a fyddai'n gweld mwy o draffig yng ngogledd Cymru ar y briffordd honno, y ffordd gyflym. Yr hyn rydym yn ceisio'i wneud gyda'r llwybr coch yw mynd â'r traffig presennol oddi ar briffordd allweddol a'i roi ar briffordd arall, fel y gallwn greu ateb trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus a theithio llesol sy'n gynaliadwy ar gyfer ardal fwyaf trefol gogledd Cymru. Mae Mark Isherwood yn iawn i ddweud bod COVID-19 wedi cael effaith o ran ymgysylltu â'r gymuned. Ein bwriad oedd cynnal digwyddiadau gwybodaeth i'r cyhoedd yn ystod y gwanwyn eleni. Ond wrth gwrs, ni allai hynny ddigwydd o ganlyniad i'r pandemig, ond rydym yn adolygu ein gweithgarwch ymgysylltu â'r gymuned a rhanddeiliaid yn barhaus er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb sydd â diddordeb yn cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf yn rheolaidd ac yn ddiogel wrth gwrs, wrth i'n gwaith ar y cynllun hwn gyflymu. O ran rhai o'r awgrymiadau amgen sydd wedi'u codi, rydym wedi ymchwilio i bob awgrym arall a gafodd eu dwyn i'n sylw - rhai cynlluniau amgen eithaf enfawr, ac eraill yn gynlluniau llai a gynlluniwyd i fynd i'r afael â mannau cyfyng. Ond penderfynwyd mai'r llwybr oedd y mwyaf addas ar gyfer yr her sy'n ein hwynebu yn yr ardal benodol honno o Gymru. Ac o ran arolygon traffig a thrafnidiaeth, cânt eu cynnal yn rheolaidd. Cynhelir arolygon trafnidiaeth a thraffig pellach, yn enwedig ar gyfer asesu sut y gallai coronafeirws fod wedi effeithio ar drafnidiaeth a phrysurdeb traffig yn y tymor hir. Ond dylid nodi, yn yr un modd, fod traffig ar yr A55 wedi cynyddu'n ôl i lefelau cyn COVID ym mis Awst eleni, gan ddangos bod yr A55 yn wahanol iawn i'r M4 gan fod llawer mwy o draffig sy'n gysylltiedig â'r economi ymwelwyr yn rhedeg ar hyd-ddi a thraffig cludo nwyddau hefyd, ac wrth gwrs, traffig sy'n gysylltiedig â diwydiannau gweithgynhyrchu, yn enwedig yng ngogledd-ddwyrain Cymru, diwydiannau na all canolfannau gweithio o bell ddarparu ar eu cyfer i'r un graddau ag y gellir ei wneud gyda gwaith clerigol, yn anffodus. Felly, mae'n brosiect unigryw ar gyfer problem unigryw.
