Cars prioritised over pedestrians. Lordship Lane doesn?t need more cars.

At weekends there are large queues there for the Ice Cream Shop, the fishmongers and the cheese shop, as well as queues for the bakery. Where before there would have been 20-30 people, there will now be 4 or 5 cars. It seems like an odd use of space and I don't imagine for a moment that it'll increase business.

So sorry to hear this. Thoughts go out to friends and family.

Might be a good. Certainly worth piloting. I would like to see North Cross Road improved too though. They should permanently pedestrianise it and put in more landscaping, seating etc.

I won't go to Gail's.

I take it back. The line of parked cars actually extend out further than the pavement extension did. Why did they close the bus stop in the first place?

The parked cars that have replaced the extended pavement are exactly the same width. The pavement just replaced the parking. There is no reason why we couldn't have had a wider pavement and had the bus stop in operation.

I dunno, I'm a pedestrian and it gets really busy outside that row of restaurants / shops even with the extended pavement. I would like it kept personally. Can't be the only pedestrian. I would be surprised if the businesses want the pavement narrowed there too tbh.

It?s really busy with people there at weekends. All giving way for 5 or 6 parked cars.

They?re removing the extended pavement on the other side by the look o things. Presumably to be replaced by parked cars. Real shame. Not sure why Southwark wouldn?t have made this permanent. It?s very narrow outside the cafes / food shops without it.

I must of missed the research that shows an increase in road capacity reduces the number of car journeys and increases active travel. If you can point me to it, I'll look at it with an open mind.

The government really need to be clear what the strategy is. It seems likely they're looking to vaccinate as many over 18s and those in vulnerable groups as possible and letting everyone else catch it, in the hope that we reach 'herd immunity'. If so, then they need to spell it out. If that is not the plan, then I don't understand what the hell Johnson is up to, because opening up right now doesn't make any sense.

I have absolutely no reason to think you?ll accept any data that does not show what you want it to. You?ve dismissed TfL data, freely available in it?s entirety. You?ve pretty much rubbished all the research on active travel. I could produce a glossy pamphlet with ?open everything to cars and the air will be clear and traffic a thing of the past? if you want 🤷 in fact I think One Dulwich already have some.

FFS. Just watched this. "might have been foreseeable"... you think?

Summary graphics attached. 24,000 fewer vehicles across the whole area. 3,400 more cycles a day.

Exactly this. Which is the real reason that One Dulwich are calling for people to support a 'return to the current state'. The reality is that Low Traffic Neighbourhoods boost cycling and reduce traffic. If you're in favour of that, then you should generally be in favour of LTNs

It's the first step in East Dulwich's move to rebrand itself as 'South Peckham'

.. What it shows is that traffic is down and active travel is up. Which is exactly what LTNs set out to achieve. The clean air for no one campaign, would put traffic back on to every street and discourage active travel. We need to work to improve traffic on the two streets where there is still a problem (Burbage and EDG). But not to lose the gains we have made.

Attached is the actual summary for those who want to see it.

The data is unreliable! Except where it confirms my opinion, in which case there is no doubt that the same data is reliable!

@Rockets - I stopped discussing Rachel Aldred?s credentials with you, when you refused to even accept a simple fact about how many papers she?s published. All the research on active travel and traffic reduction measures points to the same sorts of solutions. Yet you dismiss it all as biased. TFL?s data has been manipulated. Southwark are suspect. It does feel like an irretrievable case of confirmation bias and a bit of a waste of time debating. To answer your question - yes, I can believe that traffic across the area is generally down and that cycling is up. I know a lot of people who are walking or cycling to local clubs / kids activities etc, when before they would have driven. A lot more families are walking to school. I include myself in this. My behaviour has changed as a result of the LTN schemes. It?s not in anyway surprising to me - It?s what?s happened everywhere restrictions on car use have been put in place. That doesn?t mean that traffic won?t have increased on some streets however. As I have said many times, that needs to be identified through monitoring (not anecdote), and mitigated. But the idea that allowing cars to cut through side roads will ensure ?clean air for all?, is obviously ridiculous. It will only ensure more cars, less active travel and dirty air everywhere.
