Active Travel Strategy - Your Borough Needs You!

2 December, 2019

There’s an awful lot in there, and we need your feedback, and to respond. You can read the PDF document here.

Highlights from the strategy, in no particular order:

Banning loading in cycle lanes (“where possible”)
Work on plans to encourage delivery and servicing by cargo bike / low emissions vehicles
Focus on delivering properly for pedestrians
Better dropped kerbs, smoother pavements that don’t bob up and down for driveways
Link cycling as a way to get to stations and other hubs
New segregated routes – Strawberry Vale
New segregated routes – Kew Road (which will hoepfully link to CW9 eventually)
Kingston to Teddington via Bushy Park
Hampton Court Bridge to Kingston Bridge via the A308 – also properly segregated
More bike hangars, more parking
Make developers put in parking
More contraflow cycling across the borough
Better pedestrian crossings virtually everywhere, with a review of these
Working with TfL to shorten pedestrian waiting at crossings
A big low traffic neighbourhood plan
Walking, cycling and buses as priority modes for the borough
