Please sign in to vote.

Added by Simon Munk

Royal Borough of Greenwich are working with its partners Transport for London (TfL) and Sustrans to develop proposals for new ‘Quietway’ routes, to enhance facilities for people cycling or walking, whilst minimising impacts on other road users. This set of schemes would implement improvements along the cross-Peninsula section of the ‘Thames Path Quietway’ in Peninsula Ward. Further proposals for sections of this route in other Wards will be brought forward for consultation in due course.

What is being proposed?
For this set of proposals, we are consulting on the following schemes in the Peninsula ward:
(a) Old Woolwich Road, junction with Lassell Street (scheme ref: QTP3b)
A more people-friendly junction has been designed to benefit pedestrians and cyclists. This includes kerb build-outs to tighten the junction, particularly on the north side of Old
Woolwich Road at its junction with Lassell Street, to improve the crossing point for
pedestrians and slow vehicle speeds. One car parking space will be lost as a result.
(b) Gibson Street, junction with Banning Street (scheme ref: QTP3c)
New kerb build-outs are proposed at the junction of Gibson Street with Banning Street,
which will move the ‘give way’ markings forward and so improve sight lines for cyclists
turning right out of Gibson Street. In addition a ‘cycle hangar’ secure cycle parking facility is proposed for the wide footway space on the south-western side of this junction (corner of Enderby Street and Banning Street). No car parking spaces will be lost as a result of the proposals.
(c) Southern Park (adjacent to Ecology Park; scheme ref: QTP8)
An existing, well-lit, hard standing path borders the southern and eastern perimeter of the Southern Park (adjacent to the Ecology Park), linking West Parkside with the riverside path at Greenwich Yacht Club. No changes are proposed to this path itself; however it is proposed to clearly sign this section only as ‘shared use’ for cyclists and pedestrians. At the existing Toucan crossing at the junction with West Parkside/ Southern Way, extra space will be created by removal of a small section of wooden fencing, and relocation of a small tree.
(d) Riverside, junction with Lombard Wall (scheme ref: QTP9a)
Priority will be given to the Thames Path route, providing extra safety and security for
pedestrians and cyclists. A raised table at the junction of Lombard Wall as it meets Riverside will slow any vehicular traffic. The western side footway will be improved for pedestrians. No car parking spaces will be lost from the proposals.
(e) Riverside, junction with Anchor and Hope Lane (scheme ref: QTP9b)
Priority will be given to the Thames Path route, providing extra safety and security for
pedestrians and cyclists. The cycleway will be realigned to better connect with Riverside,
and the junction will be resurfaced in green to provide increased awareness of cyclists. No car parking spaces will be lost from the proposals.
