This webpage has the details of the works underway. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/improving-streets-and-spaces/making-our-streets-greener/east-dulwich

Parked cars narrow road space - do you object to those or just improvements for pedestrians?

It’s good to see local councillors are taking this crash seriously, hopefully the police will also. The tyres marks left on the road suggest speed could have been a factor. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FaPQjGu7x/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I’m not sure that would have been any consolation had anyone have been on the pavement at the time it tipped.

It’s terrifying thinking how many people are usually walking along that pavement to school. Really hope no one was hurt.

The work is looking great so far. Conways are cracking through it quickly and to the same high finish that they did in Dulwich Village.

The pavement widening is along the main road, not within the LTN.

Failing to see how some people can be unhappy with planting, trees, SUDs, seating, significant pedestrian improvements including a new zebra crossing to name but a few of the public realm improvements.

Wider pavements are a good thing, and much needed given the high footfall near the station.

A protest?

Could the council put planning conditions in place that would make this impossible?

The only car parking I’ve seen in the plans is for blue badge bays. Suggest you read further than the title.

Where does it say it includes car parking?

It’s looking very impressive, they’ve done a brilliant job restoring the old building.

Anything signal related needs to be raised to TfL.

Or…it suggests residents on Dovercourt Rd who’ve complained about parking for years would have been wise to support a CPZ.

No, I’m challenging your claim that new advanced cycle boxes are the reason the islands are being removed. I have never seen anything that suggests that, and it doesn’t make sense given the advanced boxes are set back behind the pedestrian crossings. Advanced cycle boxes on all 4 arms instead of just 2 is a good thing. The new wider pavements are looking great too, 3 of the 4 corners are finished now. So much better for the heavy footfall. Pedestrian countdown timers have been needed for a long time, it’s positive that they’ll be added also.

You initially claimed a new cycle lane was the reason why pedestrian islands are being removed - not true, there are no new cycle lanes. Now you’re pivoting to advanced cycle boxes being the reason. Again, not true. Suggest you do your own research before making any further claims.

My knowledge comes from looking at the publicly available plans. It shows exactly what the junction improvement works are (again, no new cycle lanes).

The cycle lane was already there, but most drivers ignored the painted lines. It wasn’t two lanes of traffic reduced to one. It became much safer and more accessible with wands. The wands were added quite a few years ago. To confirm, there is no new cycle lane as part of the current junction improvements works as Rockets claimed above.

It took less than a minute to do a Google search to double-check the things I remembered reading from the consultation docs awhile ago. This isn’t hard.

There was never a plan for a new cycle lane.

There are no new cycle lanes. The pavements on each of the 4 corners are being widened and pedestrian countdown timers are being added. It should be much better for the heavy footfall that junction gets.

Is this thread still a discussion about the South Circular roadworks?
