Local safety scheme - Received 8 March 2007
The proposal is for extensive works on Putney High Street and to all the junctions between Putney Bridge Road and the Lower Richmond Road / Putney Bridge. The effect will be to bring the cycle lanes and cycle advanced stop boxes up to the current minimum specifications in the London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS). So, for example, the current narrow (0.8 m ?) lanes will be widened to 1.5 m and ASL's will be put in where they are currently missing. The road surface will be re-surfaced in parts to remove ruts, cycle lanes will be coloured green and bus lanes and pedestrian crossings coloured red. There will be a new table entry treatment at Weimar Road. Parallel improvements to pedestrian crossing facilities are also proposed.
At first glance it looks as if this proposal should be welcomed - but we need to look very carefully at the details to make sure that it does not introduce any unintended problems.
Deadline for comments to Wandsworth Council is 20 March 2007.
