At last, it looks like some tangible progress is being made with the London Quietways scheme.\u00a0 Those of you that attended our meeting last year at the Town Hall, heard Andrew Gilligan describe these routes as the ones that will encourage new and less experienced cyclists to choose cycling more often.<\/p>\n
One of the first Quietways approved will be Q2 and it will link Greenwich, Lewisham and Southwark to Waterloo, across the north of those boroughs.\u00a0 The design of each borough section is down to the individual borough, it seems, and Southwark have already produced some initial design, on which the local cycling group has been consulted.\u00a0 I requested to attend that consultation, too, as Lewisham Cyclists will probably use longer sections of the route through Southwark than many Southwark Cyclists.\u00a0 Of course, there will be more formal consultations coming up where everyone will have the chance to look at the designs and comment.\u00a0 We will tell you about these as soon as we hear. \u00a0However, they will need to move quickly \u00a0if they are to live up to TfL’s promise here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.tfl.gov.uk\/corporate\/about-tfl\/how-we-work\/planning-for-the-future\/vision-for-cycling\/central-london-cycling-grid<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The map of the proposed route is here<\/p>\n
