Camden Council installed Pop-up cycle lanes on Chalk Farm Road and the southern end of Haverstock Hill last summer and is now consulting on making them permanent with many improvements including:
- Replacing the temporary ‘wand’ segregation with new raised cycle tracks
- Improved junction layout at Haverstock Hill/ Chalk Farm Road/ Adelaide Road/ Regents Park Road/ Crogsland Road,
- Retaining the four bus stop bypasses as well as adding two new ones
- Retaining the improvements at the Ferdinand Street- Juniper Way junction
This scheme may attract hostile responses from the motor lobby and we want to make sure that there is a majority in favour of the consultation. We therefore ask you to fill in the On-line survey. The deadline for responses is 11th October but why not do it now, it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.
We suggest that you reply along the following lines:
Q8, Q9 and Q10: “Strongly Agree” – to all of the proposals
Q11: “Agree” – to any of the points that are appropriate
Q12 can be omitted
Q13 answer as appropriate
Q14: Give a reason why you like it, e.g.: “Riding a bike through Chalk Farm is much more pleasant” If you can think of something orginal, then officers will be able to quote it in their report.
You can read about the consultation on Camden’s website.
