After a lot of campaigning and consultation with residents, users, developers and even a rogue TfL engineer we have devised an Alternative Proposal.
It's a three phase plan that could see immediate improvements very soon with the final stage being completed with the forthcoming rebuilding of the shopping centre.
Our 3 Key Design Principles:
1. Consider the wider context
of routes, places and plans that
could be or will be put to better use.
2. Integrate the plans with the
redevelopment of the Northern Line Station and Shopping Centre.
3. Maximise space available for
all users to pass through safely
and comfortably on their journeys.
In contrast TfL:
1. Ignore existing cycle routes and the
potential for more in adjacent streets
2. Fail to take the opportunity for a
better design that is only possible since
the new owners of the shopping centre
set out their intention for demolition.
3. Force a costly outdoor leisure space
to be squeezed into the inner ring road.
4. Apply city dogma of filling in subways.
