We received 646 responses to the consultation, of which 71% supported or partially supported our proposals. Comments from respondents included general support for the proposals, calls for continuous segregated cycling facilities along Spur Road, and concern over the proposal to route cyclists through the existing shared pedestrian-cyclist space behind Canada Gate. After considering all of the responses to the consultation, we intend to proceed with the overall scheme along the route alignment consulted upon, with some changes to the detailed proposals as summarised below: Spur Road Working with The Royal Parks, we are now proposing a segregated two-way cycle track on Spur Road, between Constitution Hill and Birdcage Walk, introduced on a trial basis. We are currently consulting on these proposals, which can be found at tfl.gov.uk/east-west- spur-road. This consultation is open until 4 October 2015 Junction of The Mall, Horse Guards Road and North Horse Ride Following further investigation and discussions with The Royal Parks, we will provide northbound cyclists on Horse Guards Road with an early release facility. Cyclists will have their own set of traffic signals, providing them with a green light a few seconds ahead of motor traffic. This will allow cyclists to proceed ahead of general traffic, reducing the risk of ‘left hooks’. We will install a new signalised pedestrian crossing on Horse Guards Road, and relocate the signalised pedestrian crossings on The Mall east and west of Horse Guards Road closer to the junction. Junction of Storey’s Gate/Birdcage Walk/Great George Street/Horse Guards Road We no longer intend to ban the left turn from Birdcage Walk into Horse Guards Road. This means motorists will be able to enter and leave Horse Guards Road as they do at present. Cyclists travelling eastbound and westbound on Birdcage Walk will be provided with their own dedicated signal phase to move through the junction. Following further investigation and discussions with The Royal Parks, we will provide southbound cyclists on Horse Guards Road with an early release facility. Cyclists will have their own set of traffic signals, providing them with a green light a few seconds ahead of motor traffic. This will allow cyclists to proceed ahead of general traffic, reducing the risk of ‘left hooks’. 3 East-West Cycle Superhighway St James’s Park and Green Park Consultation Response to Consultation We will create a loading zone on the east side of Storey’s Gate to facilitate the servicing of local frontages. Birdcage Walk We will continue to work with The Royal Parks to finalise the design on Birdcage Walk, with the aim of widening the pedestrian crossings. North Horse Ride We are working with cycling and disability groups to ensure the route is navigable by non- standard cycles such as hand cycles and cargo bikes. Where necessary, bollards and gates will be realigned. Working with The Royal Parks, we are undertaking a review of lighting in this area to ensure conditions are safe for all users Subject to agreement with the relevant Highway Authorities, we plan to start construction in early 2016, with completion due in summer 2016. Construction will be phased to minimise the impact on other road and park users. We will keep visitors and road users informed of our plans and progress, including writing to local residents, businesses and other stakeholders before undertaking work in their area. We will also provide road traffic information to help people better plan their journeys and make informed choices about how, where and when they travel. East-West Cycle Superhighway St James’s Park and Green Park Response to Consultation 4 1 Introduction From 9 February to 29 March 2015, Transport for London (TfL) consulted on proposals for a continuous, largely segregated cycle route in Hyde Park and improved cycling provision in the St James’s Park and Green Park. This document explains the processes of the 2015 consultation, and sets out the responses and outcomes for St James’s Park and Green Park. The consultation report for Hyde Park was published on 4 August 2015, and can be found at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/8e23d698. 1.1 Purpose of the scheme Cycling in London has more than doubled in the last decade. Bicycles now make up around a quarter of rush hour traffic in central London* - but there are few special routes or facilities for them. We are determined to ensure London’s roads are as safe as they can be for cyclists. The proposed East-West Cycle Superhighway would create a separated cycle corridor to improve safety and reduce conflict between motor vehicles and cyclists. It has been designed to encourage the large numbers of people who would like to cycle, but currently feel unable to, and to improve safety for existing cyclists. Data from existing Cycle Superhighways suggest the new routes would also draw cyclists away from other routes in central London that are less suitable for them. * Source: TfL Cycle Census 2013 The proposals for St James Park and Green Park are part of a wider scheme, on which TfL consulted in 2014. The results of the 2014 consultation are reported at tfl.gov.uk/cycle- east-west. In 2014, the proposals for St James’s Park and Green Park were not as advanced as for other sections of the route, so we returned to consult in 2015 on detailed plans. The East-West Cycle Superhighway will start at Tower Hill, where it will connect to the existing Cycle Superhighway Route 3 (CS3), which runs east to Canary Wharf and Barking. From Tower Hill, the new route will run along Lower and Upper Thames Street, Victoria Embankment, across Parliament Square, through St James’s Park, Green Park and Hyde Park, and over the Westway flyover from Westbourne Bridge to Wood Lane. From there, it is proposed that it will continue along the A40 Western Avenue as far as Horn Lane, Acton. Proposals for the A40 Westway section from Westbourne Terrace to Acton are being designed currently and will be consulted on in the near future. 5 East-West Cycle Superhighway St James’s Park and Green Park Consultation Response to Consultation 1.2 Description of the scheme in St James’s Park and Green Park Details of the proposals for St James’s Park and Green Park consulted on during 2015 can be found at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/cycling/9c956f89. Some of the key proposals were: • Horse Guards Road and The Mall (North Horse Ride) would have minimal new physical infrastructure, reflecting the heritage and national importance of these roads • A new signalised junction at Horse Guards Road and Storey’s Gate would protect cyclists from turning traffic and provide two new signalised pedestrian crossings • A new signalised junction at Horse Guards Road and The Mall would provide a dedicated cycle crossing across The Mall • A simplified cycle crossing at Marlborough Gate • The existing horse ride on Constitution Hill would be converted into a two way cycle track and the footway widened, to better cater for the needs of users in this area • A segregated cycle track would be introduced along Birdcage Walk in St James’s Park, assisting cycle journeys to and from Victoria and the proposed ‘Quietway’ cycle route on Buckingham Gate • A new signalised junction at Birdcage Walk and Spur Road would separate traffic that currently merges from two arms of the
