Pedestrian Crossing and Bus Reliability Improvements on Hatton Garden and Clerkenwell Road

Dates: consultation  November 2015; reply due 8th January 2016 (extension to 15th) Officers: Peter Ashley, Simi Shah.  CC member dealing with it Jean Dollimore. RESPONDED 15 Jan 2016.

The preamble describes a “Vision” for this as part of a larger scheme for the Farringdon Area:

improved streets for walking & cycling

– clearer and easier access to move through the area on foot, cycle or public transport

– safe, attractive and less cluttered streets

– a better place to live, work and do business.

The current set of proposals are related to bus reliability and pedestrian safety. They include the following:

On Clerkenwell Road

Long stretches of double yellow lines with loading restrictions

between Rosebery Avenue and Laystall Street

and between Hatton Garden and Saffron Hill:

On Hatton Garden

– Raised zebra crossings at St Cross Street and Greville Street with a standard layout that involves build outs to leave a 9m wide crossing. See

– Carriageway cycle parking in St Cross Street and Greville, Street

Issues

Not mentioned in the consultation:

The removal of parking and loading are a very useful first step towards the eventual implementation of space for cycling e.g. stepped tracks in Clerkenwell Road.
