We are delighted that local businesses will be given the chance to breathe, to recover from Covid19 with room to spread onto the streets, & with customers arriving by cycle and on foot, just like the best examples from places like Liverpool, Vilnius, New York. https://twitter.com/wandbc/status/1277900162925572096
The plans look pretty good we think - almost all motor traffic removed, buses diverted from main section, routes for the remaining traffic to serve local businesses. Not sure that painted cycle lane is intuitive to pedestrians or cyclists or how the barrier work exactly.
So pleased that engineers have found a way to fulfill the dreams of @WandsworthTown. Would be great to get a chance to input to details on schemes like this - if you are going in a hurry as we must now, extra sets of eyes will help.
Last year councillors in @TheAlma were listening - @NightingaleSMcD @RhodriDEMorgan and others - when @AnalogPuss told @WandsLS about Waltham Forest road low traffic neighbourhoods, and said we had a chance to make Old York Road properly nice. This is a big step toward that.
