Q3 then can also go along Polwarth Drive and Greenfield Road too. Only areas that lose out are Featherstone Grove and Gosforth high street.
Not sure that's a good idea as your removing the Jesmond and Great Park to Gosforth links.
Doing the route you suggested there, there's very little reason to go via Jesmond as most people use the Metro anyway and Salter's Bridge is knackered. The only reason they shut the bridges is to save money maintaining them, blaming it as environmental reasons instead.
