Informal Consultation - 18 April 2008
Merton Council is proposing to introduce cycle facilities on Coombe Lane as part of the development of the London Cycle Network (LCN), which can be funded by Transport for London.
This scheme is part of the proposed 900km of London wide cycle routes and is proposed to make it easier, safer and more convenient for cyclists to gain access to the south of the railway line via the existing skew arch. The development of the cycle network is intended to increase peoples’ choice of realistic and affordable forms of transport.
The proposed scheme will provide both pedestrians and cyclists an improved east west route linking Coombe Lane and Kingston Road at the southern end of the Skew Arch thus avoiding the narrow Cattle Arch and the existing traffic signals at Approach Road / Raynes Park Bridge.
The scheme proposal has two key components:
- Two-way segregated cycle track on a widened footway from outside the shops next to Raynes Park Station to the skew arch to the east
- An improved traffic signalled junction north of the Raynes Park Bridge incorporating a pedestrian and cycle crossing facility.
Let us know your views
Before proceeding further the Council would like your views on the proposals.
The decision on whether or not to proceed with the next step, which would involve a formal consultation on the proposals, will be subject to the responses received during this consultation.
The consultation period for this scheme closed on Friday 16 May 2008.
What happens next?
The results of the consultation exercise was reported to the Council’s Street Management Advisory Committee along with the views and recommendations of Council officers, after which a final decision will be made by the Cabinet Member for Environment and Street Management. As soon as a decision has been made you will be informed accordingly via a newsletter.
