Camden are asking for suggestions for improving the Brookes Market/Leather Lane area. This is probably associated with the redevelopment of the extension to the Waterhouse Building.
Here is a link to Camden’s engagement page.
Suggestions from CCC members
- Reopen the cycle link from Leather Lane to Holborn, where there is a dropped kerb facilitating crossing to and from Fetter Lane. Currently cyclists are required to dismount though we have raised this several times with Camden.
- Facilitate two-way cycling between Leather Lane and Brookes Market along Dorrington Street: add dropped kerbs and change signage from No Entry to No Motor Vehicles (‘Flying Motorcycle’) signs. See https://maps.app.goo.gl/XpF1zbtp6tveWcSJ7
- Improve permeability by adding cycle exemptions to the No Entry/No Turn signs:
- westbound on Dorrington Street at Brookes Market. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fodSNM7C7yyXg4th7
- eastbound at the SW corner of Brookes Market. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KtsTa1ia9QekFsQK9
- At the junction of Beauchamp Street and Brookes Market https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yukyz3VR2DLgBYhr7
- Add cycle parking (including cargo bikes) in Leather Lane and Brookes Market.
- Make Leather Lane two-way for cycling throughout (currently it is one-way in sections).
