1 Executive summary

A three week engagement exercise for Traffic Order Groups V6, 2b, 5, V4 and V5 was held in the London Borough of Greenwich between 9 June and 8 July 2011.

65 political stakeholders were written to including councillors in all Greenwich wards 136 letters were sent to key stakeholders and 19,500 local residents and businesses within approx 400m of the Olympic Route Network and Paralympic Route Network (ORN and PRN) Six drop-in sessions were held with a total of 105 attendees 59 responses were received via email, website and drop-in session feedback forms.

The majority of respondents required reassurance that the loss of parking would not impact on local residents and businesses. Many also felt that the duration of the ORN and PRN was too long and that it should only be in operation for the duration of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and a couple of days either side. Concerns that local congestion and ‘tail backs’ into residential roads would become significantly worse were also viewed. A comparison was made to the recent Greenwich Park test event where local residents monitored the traffic behaviour and congestion on residential streets.

Transport for London (TfL) will consider all feedback received during the engagement process and following requests from respondents, TfL will work with London 2012 delivery partners and the London Borough of Greenwich to review the need for parking permits on Maze Hill. TfL will also look into providing appropriate signing for the Charlton Park Lane weight restriction and allowing buses into the proposed Games Lane on Shooters Hill Road leading up to Sun in the Sands.

Following a request from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), Millennium Way north of Edmund Halley Way will be restricted 24 hours a day except for Games vehicles and access to Tunnel Avenue. In addition, following feedback TfL is reviewing the operational period of the ORN and PRN. The ORN and PRN will now only operate during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and for a few days before and after them for the arrival and departure of the Games Family.

The plans for this section of the ORN may be subjected to further enhancement once the details of all the London 2012 competition venues for Greenwich are finalised.

2 Introduction

2.1 Purpose

Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), has been talking to local residents and stakeholders on the temporary changes to the way the roads can be used in their local area.

This engagement aims to identify concerns and emerging issues and consider potential solutions to these when finalising the designs. It is carried out in advance of a formal statutory consultation that will take place as part of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process which is required to introduce many of the changes. TfL is engaging on TROs in phases to make it easier for the public to make sense of the detailed information. This process has to be completed by November 2011 to ensure that the ORN and PRN can be constructed before the Games.

For the purpose of consultation, the sections of the ORN and PRN were combined to allow a holistic borough specific view of the network within Greenwich. Therefore, this report covers the section of the ORN known as TOGs 2b, V6, 5, V4 and V5, which falls into phase three of the ORN and PRN engagement exercise.

TOGs were combined based on their geographical position within the Greenwich borough and proximity to the competition venue. The following combinations were used: For north of the borough, TOG 2b and TOG V6 were combined to allow the public to view proposals from Sun in the Sands to A102 Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach (TOG 2b) and Blackwall Lane to North Greenwich Arena – Millennium Way (TOG V6) For west of the borough, TOG V4 and TOG 5 were combined to allow the public to view proposals from Maze Hill to A2 Shooters Hill Road (TOG V4) and from A2/A207 Shooters Hill Road to Charlton Park Lane (TOG 5) For east of the borough, TOG 5 and TOG V5 were combined to allow the public to view proposals from A2/A207 Shooters Hill Road to Charlton Park Lane (TOG 5) and from Charlton Park Lane to Royal Artillery Barracks (TOG V5)

2.2 Background

The ORN and PRN are road networks linking all the competition and key non- competition venues for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The roads that will be used for the ORN and PRN were formally designated by the Secretary of State for Transport in summer 2009, with some minor changes made by the Designation Amendment Order in 2011.

- 4 -

The ORN and PRN will enable key participants, such as athletes, officials, media and others working at the Games, to reach their venues and accommodation on time, while also keeping London and the rest of the UK moving.

The ORN and PRN is required in the London Borough of Greenwich and this route will provide a key link to Greenwich Park, North Greenwich Arena, Royal Artillery Barracks plus all other London competition venues.

The temporary changes that will be needed to operate the ORN and PRN have been discussed with the London Borough of Greenwich. At time of public consultation, TfL consulted on the following ORN/PRN duration of operation:

Mid July to mid September 2012 for TOG 2b Late July to mid September 2012 for TOGS V6, V4, 5 and V5

For TOG 2b, TfL also consulted on:

An offside Games Lane, generally from 6am–midnight northbound on the A102 between Sun in the Sands and Blackwall Lane approach. General traffic will need to use other lanes which could mean they experience queuing and delays Northbound lanes on the A102 re-marked to maintain two general traffic lanes from Sun in the Sands interchange The exit from A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach to Boord Street will be for Official Games vehicles and buses only Boord Street north side No Waiting restrictions will be changed to No Stopping 24 Hours. This may affect night club pick-up/drop-off, but this remains possible along opposite side of road A 24 hour bus lane will run on the A2 entry slip from Rochester Way northbound. This could mean general traffic experiences queuing due to the reduction in traffic lanes on the approach to Sun in the Sands roundabout The southbound entry arm from A102/Peartree Way to Woolwich Road interchange will be converted to ‘give way’ priority from signal control to help to manage traffic flow Temporary changes to some traffic signal timings will be needed to smooth the flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time

For TOG V6, TfL consulted on: A nearside Games Lane on Millennium Way northbound approach to the traffic signal, to operate 24 hours a day A banned right turn from Edmund Halley Way to Millennium Way to smooth traffic flow on the ORN/ PRN - 5 -

No stopping at any time on the north side of Boord Street to provide a priority route for Games vehicles. Stopping will still be allowed on the south side of the street to allow vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers for nearby night clubs Temporary changes to traffic signal timings will be needed when the network is being used by Games vehicles to ensure the smooth flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes, as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time

For TOG V4, the proposed changes were: To reduce the number of parking bays on Maze Hill, Park Vista and Park Row and allocate the remaining bays for permit holders only To extend timings to waiting and stopping restrictions on Prince Charles Road, Maze Hill, Park Vista and Park Row. The timings to these restrictions will vary and is detailed on the attached plan To suspend two bus stops on Prince Charles Road and one bus stop on Shooters Hill Road –exact details about where passengers will be able to pick up services is still being finalised and information will be provided nearer the time To permit vehicles to turn left into Park Vista from Maze Hill Park Row will be closed as a through road, except for cyclists No access to Charlton Way, west of the junction with Prince Charles Road and Maze Hill Temporary changes to some traffic signal timings will be needed to smooth the flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time

For TOG 5, the proposed changes included: Offside Games Lane (7am to 7pm) eastbound on the A2 Shooters Hill Road between Prince Charles Road and Stratheden Road Nearside combined Bus and Games Lane (7am to 7pm) eastbound on the A2 Shooters Hill Road between Kidbrooke Grove and Kidbrooke Park Road Offside combined Bus and Games Lane (7am to 7pm) westbound on the A2 Shooters Hill Road between Kidbrooke Park Road and Kidbrooke Grove Offside Games Lane (7am to 7pm) westbound on the A2 Shooters Hill Road between Stratheden Road and Prince Charles Road Offside Games Lane (7am to 7pm) on the A207 Shooters Hill westbound between Eastbrook Road and Sun in the Sands interchange To suspend a number of parking bays and relocate some on-street parking partially onto the footway

- 6 -

To extend duration and timings to existing stopping restrictions to 7am to 7pm, Monday to Sunday on A2 & A207 Shooters Hill Road To suspend a bus stop between Eastbrook Road and Sun in the Sands interchange, and provide a temporary bus stop 45m to the west Temporary changes to some traffic signal timings will be needed to smooth the flow of traffic on the ORN

For TOG V5, the proposed changes were: • To relocate on-street parking to partially on the footway eastbound along Charlton Park Lane between Canberra Road and Cemetery Lane • To introduce No stopping from 7am – 7pm eastbound along Charlton Park Lane between A207 Shooters Hill Road and Canberra Road • Road humps along Charlton Park Lane to be temporarily removed • To propose a 7.5 tonnes weight limit for general traffic between Canberra Road and Cemetery Lane • To remove the Charlton Park Lane width restriction • Temporary changes to some traffic signal timings will be needed to smooth the flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time

3 Stakeholder engagement

The engagement exercise has been designed to enable TfL to share the details of the proposed changes so people on or near the routes could find out how they might be affected. This has allowed TfL to gauge local opinion about the measures and gather feedback that may be used to inform local modifications.

3.1 Engagement objectives

The objectives of the consultation were: To tell stakeholders and the public about the proposals and allow them to respond To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware To understand concerns and objections To allow respondents to make suggestions

3.2 Who we engaged with

The engagement exercise sought the views of targeted stakeholders and people who live/work/run businesses near to the ORN and PRN in this TOG area including:

- 7 -

Elected politicians – We informed councillors in relevant Wards, Members of Parliament, and Assembly Members to ensure they were aware of the engagement Local stakeholders – We engaged with local traffic police, London TravelWatch and a range of local stakeholder groups, such as residents groups, business groups and organisations in the local area Residents and businesses Emergency Services

A complete list of the stakeholders is provided in Appendix C.

3.3 Engagement methodology

Transport for London (TfL) developed a public engagement plan for Greenwich and the following methods have been used to inform local residents and businesses about the engagement and to encourage them to take part.

3.3.1 Meetings with key stakeholders

The ODA and TfL have discussed with relevant Greenwich Council officers about the design of the ORN measures since the designation of the network in 2006. This includes regular technical meetings, conferences and the borough transport forum.

The ODA gave briefings to political and key stakeholders, followed by a consultation on the re-designated route and Penalty Charge Notification Levels in summer 2009. They announced the location of the temporary Games Lanes across London and the rest of the UK in July 2010.

Regular engagement has taken place with the emergency services, in particular with the Metropolitan Police, during the design process and comments have been incorporated into latest designs.

In May 2011 and prior to any public activity, written correspondence was sent to local politicians and key stakeholders informing them of the temporary changes and the public drop-in sessions in the local area.

3.3.2 Letter

A letter and map detailing the key changes was delivered by a mail delivery agency to 19,600 properties along the route

The materials: Provided an overview of the main temporary changes

- 8 -

Told people about the website which contains detailed maps Encouraged people to attend drop-in sessions where they would be able to ask questions and/or find out additional information Asked for comments about the proposed temporary changes via TfL’s online consultation tool, email, in writing or by telephone

A copy of this letter is shown in Appendix A and a map of the distribution area can be found in Appendix B.

3.3.3 Website

The website included a map showing the extent of the route, and detailed maps of the proposed changes. An online consultation tool allowed users to give their feedback.

3.3.4 Public drop-in Sessions

Three drop-in sessions were held:

The Forum@Greenwich. Trafalgar Road, SE10 9EQ Thursday, 23 June 2011, 16:00 – 20:00 Friday, 24 June 2011, 10:00 – 14:00

Charlton House, Minstrel Hall, Charlton Road, SE3 8SR Monday, 20 June 2011, 10:00 – 14:00 Wednesday, 22 June 2011, 16:00 – 20:00

Woolwich Town Hall, Wellington Street, SE18 6PW Wednesday, 22 June 2011, 10:00 – 14:00 Monday, 27 June 2011, 16:30 – 19:30

All drop-in session presented the changes for all Greenwich TOGs to give the public a holistic overview of the ORN and PRN proposals.

105 people attended the sessions: 41 people at The Forum, 39 people at Charlton House and 25 at Woolwich Town Hall session.

Additionally, TfL attended the Great Greenwich Get Together which was held at the Royal Artillery Barracks on Saturday, 25 June 2011. This event was not publicised as part of this consultation exercise but received significant passing trade.

Each drop-in session comprised: A display stand explaining the purpose of and background to the ORN/PRN Large overview maps showing the sections of road involved Large scale maps showing the proposed measures in detail (reproduced on the website) - 9 -

Drop-in session attendees were able to speak to the design specialists to gain a better understanding of the proposals and the Games in general. They were encouraged to fill out feedback forms. Analysis of these is contained within section 4. Key themes were: Concerns about the protecting local residents and businesses parking The impact of the proposals on general traffic Contingency plans should an incident occur in The Blackwall Tunnel Access to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

3.3.5 Telephone queries

Callers were able to make an enquiry or comment on the plans through TfL’s customer services lines; the number was listed on letters, emails and the website.

3.3.6 Other publicity

Greenwich Times carried a report on Thursday, 16 June 2011 about the proposals which included details of the ORN and PRN engagement email address and TfL customer services telephone number.

4 Responses from members of the public

4.2.1 Residents and business parking 17 people responded with concerns about the impact on resident and business parking. General concerns applicable across all TOGS:

The removal of parking spaces will have a knock on effect in surrounding streets

- 11 -

Local resident and business parking must be protected throughout the duration of the Games Special permits should be issued to allow those displaced in adjacent CPZs The use of temporary vouchers for parking Addressing the issues raised

Parking around venues - London 2012, together with key transport partners, are developing temporary plans to manage traffic and parking around venues. These will be known as Local Area Traffic Management and Parking Plan (LATM&P). These will help discourage spectators from parking in local roads and minimise disruption to residents and businesses in the area.

At this stage London 2012 and partners are still working through these traffic management and parking requirements that will be needed around the venues in Greenwich. These proposals are being developed in conjunction with the ORN and PRN measures to ensure that they complement one another.

London 2012 is extremely clear that one of their primary aims is to ensure that all residents and businesses living and located around venues are able to carry on with their daily activities and are still be able to continue to park their vehicles near their properties. Arrangements will be made to ensure that everyday activities such as deliveries and visitor parking can also still continue.

To enable London 2012 to stage a successful Games a number of key messages must be conveyed in relation to transport. Through public consultation and engagement, the aim is: To reassure that disruptions to all residents and businesses surrounding Games venues will be kept to a minimum; and That we will keep traffic moving

These messages must be conveyed to the local community to ensure they are aware of any short- term changes to the local road network and parking prior to and during the Games. LOCOG will collaborate with the local authority and TfL to ensure that these messages are delivered to the appropriate individuals, groups and their parties within the LATM&P local area.

Removal of parking bays on the ORN - At the council's request, TfL conducted a number of parking surveys to determine the general usage of parking bays at different times during the day. For Maze Hill, Park Row and Park Vista the observations were:

76 parked vehicles during daytime on 31 July 2009 73 parked vehicles during daytime on 11 August 2010 71 parked vehicles during daytime on 13 December 2010 73 parked vehicles during the late evening on 15 February 2010.

- 12 -

With the proposed changes, there will still be space for 89 vehicles to park which is 20% more than the observed general usage.

For Charlton Park Lane, the observations were:

69 parked vehicles during daytime on 31 July 2009 47 parked vehicles during the evening on 13 March 2011 With the proposed changes, we are still maintaining space for 92 vehicles to park which is 25% more than the observed general usage.

TfL is therefore confident that proposed changes to parking arrangements on the ORN and PRN will still allow for adequate provision for residents.

4.2.2 Increased local congestion 19 people noted concerns about the ORN/PRN would create or worsen local congestion. Examples, include:

Northbound on the A102 will be congested from Shooters Hill Road onwards (2b) Heavy volumes of traffic on Charlton Park Lane...route for access to the Hospital (V5) Tailbacks occur most days in the afternoon/early evening...caused by traffic heading east on the A2 (5) Addressing the issue raised In London it will be busy during the Games and it will be harder to get around certain areas of the City but TfL is working with Council’s, businesses and local residents to ensure as much information is available as early as possible to help people make alternative plans and keep London moving.

The measures implemented on the ORN and PRN to improve traffic flow will be proportionate, temporary and will only operate when and where they are needed. Road space for general traffic will be maximised wherever possible. In addition, a Travel Demand Management (TDM) programme has been designed to optimise the use of the transport network during the Games. It focuses on the short term travel behaviour of both individuals and businesses. Its aim is to encourage a reduction in background demand through asking the question about whether the journey is necessary, whether it can be retimed, rerouted or changed to a different type of transport, for example from your car to on foot. TDM started at the end of last year and will continue through to Games time. A reduction in background demand should help to reduce the impact of the extra Games vehicles on the road network.

We are confident we will meet the transport challenge posed by the Games, but not complacent. People will need to change the way they travel, when they travel or work in different ways during the Games. London is used to hosting successful major events, and we will do so again. All partners are fully focused on delivering a fantastic London 2012 Games and legacy for the Capital and UK.

4.2.4 The duration of the ORN/PRN Seven respondents were concerned about the duration of the proposed measures. This was consistent across all TOGs and example comments included:

We request that the ORN only be in operation around Greenwich Park for the actual event days and one or two days either side (V4) The operational period...seems wholly out of proportion to any operational necessity (2b) Addressing the issue raised TfL is currently reviewing the ORN and PRN’s operating dates. We are determined to ensure that the ORN and PRN is implemented and operated with the minimum impact on London. We expect it to begin operation just a couple of days before the Games begin and some routes, such as that to Wimbledon, will be discontinued as soon as the event is over and they are not required. We also plan to end the operation of the ORN as soon as possible after the Olympic Games and, once again, implement the PRN which will be significantly reduced in size, just a couple of days before the Paralympic Games. The Paralympic Route Network in the London Borough of Greenwich is the same as the ORN for the Olympic Games.

4.2.5 Disruption to local bus services and stops We received 10 specific comments about the disruption to local bus services and stops. Generally, respondents felt that bus stops should only be suspended if absolutely necessary and that it is essential to maintain a service for local area. There was also a request for TfL to communicate the details of bus changes, example comments include: The suspension of bus stops cannot be supported without understanding where they will be relocated to (V4) Bus stops should only be suspended if absolutely necessary and in some instances, should be conveniently relocated (V4) When will residents know about the changes to the bus routes? (V6)

- 16 -

Suggest that you suspend the bus stop totally rather than moving it: the next bus stop will suffice (5)

Addressing the issue raised Bus stops - In order to ensure the smooth flow of traffic it is necessary to suspend bus stops where they will present pinch points. The objective will be to ensure where possible that replacement provision is provided and that clear information is available on closed stops telling passengers where they will be able to catch the service from. TfL will endeavour to ensure that passengers can use stops as close to their original locations as possible. Detailed information on changes to the bus network will be released nearer the time.

Bus services - No bus routes will be suspended as a result of the ORN. However, some routes will require diverting. Minimising disruption to bus passengers has been a key consideration in both the design of the ORN and the design of bus service diversions. In the case of Queen Elizabeth hospital, the main issue relates to the road closures necessary to accommodate the Royal artillery Barracks venue itself rather than the ORN. The concern regarding Queen Elizabeth hospital is noted. Engagement on bus services during the Games has just commenced and the issue will be considered as part of that process.

Specific concerns Issue TOG Response Will bus route 132 run a V6 There are no plans for bus route 132 to run a 24 24 hour service for hour service. It currently runs from early in the locals...the bus 132 is vital morning to late at night and we intend to maintain to travellers in the area the same high quality service during the Games.

4.2.6. Impact on cyclists Three respondents commented on the impact to cyclists There was a general request to understand the impacts that the proposals will have on cyclists, especially in regards to safety. Example comments appeared in response to TOG V4 and include:

What is proposed for cyclists who will have to be diverted from the route through Greenwich Park...safety of cyclists should be of great importance This information does not provide details on how those proposals will impact cyclists...cyclists will have to use busier surrounding roads but it is not mentioned if they are allowed to use the ORN and designated Games Lanes.

Addressing the issues raised TfL is committed to encouraging cycling in London particularly during Games time. Around £10m is being invested in new routes to the Olympic Parks, alongside new way-finding information and cycle parking at all venues. The 2012 Active Travel Programme will encourage Londoners and those visiting the Games to make their journey by bike and on

foot. Clear signage at Greenwich Park will redirect cyclists to utilise the nearby National Cycle Routes.

The ORN and PRN are open to all traffic, though restrictions apply. General traffic, including cyclists will not be permitted to use the Games Lanes whilst operating and 95% of Games lanes are offside (e.g. away from the kerb) which we know from our experience of cycling is not the preferred position for cyclists. The success of the ORN and PRN is not due to enforcement but compliance and we will be working with the cycling community to explain fully the particular circumstances in place on the ORN during its operation, to ensure that everyone is aware of the restrictions in place. As always, we look to cyclists to cycle responsibly and safely on London’s roads.

4.2.7. Exemptions on the network 10 people raised specific concerns regarding certain modes/user groups being allowed to use the ORN and PRN. Example comments included:

Exemptions should be made to taxis when setting down or picking up...taxis should be exempt from the proposed no stopping on the network (all TOGS) Two wheelers, buses (including bus 108 and 132) and taxis should be allowed to use the Games Lanes (2b) Can you please advise whether green light services such as midwives on call and doctors will be able to use the ORN/PRN temporary lanes (all TOGS)

Addressing the issues raised Taxis - Taxis will be permitted to set down and pick up on ORN and PRN in sections where general traffic has access to the nearside lane (in line with the current policy for Red Routes), but they will not be able to access nearside Games Lanes for the purpose of setting down or picking up.

Two wheelers, buses and taxis in the Games Lanes- In some instances, buses are permitted to use the Games Lanes and the locations has been marked up on the detailed plans which can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk/ORN . TfL is currently reviewing whether it will be possible to include Taxis where buses are allowed. However each individual section will need to be evaluated to consider the impact on the Games Family movements and TfL is in ongoing discussions with the Taxi Trade regarding this.

It is however not possible to allow buses and taxis to use the majority of Games Lanes and the same stands for other vehicles such as two wheelers . This is because as part of its Host City Contract, London 2012 is required to provide secure and reliable transport services to members of the Games Family. This is to ensure the people who ‘make the Games happen’, which includes the media and sponsors, can reach their venues within the journey times specified in the Contract, and in time for their events.

Getting everyone, including the Games family, media, spectators and the general public

where they need to be, on time, during summer 2012 is an enormous challenge. One of the measures used to manage traffic flow is the Games Lanes option, which is part of a tried and tested approach that has been used to in previous Games in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and Vancouver.

In some parts of the ORN, the Games Lanes will be heavily used for most of the day and carry far more traffic than the bus lanes usually do. If buses, taxis and two wheelers were added to this mix in those areas, it would be impossible to guarantee journey times for the Games Family.

The timing of each section of the Games Lanes and use of the ORN will be tightly controlled to reflect the predicted use and need for the Games Family. The measures will come into operation as late as possible and be removed as quickly as possible once they are no longer required.

Green Light vehicles on call – Allowing exemptions on the Games Lanes, other than Police and emergency services attending a blue light scenario, would make it impossible to guarantee the journey time commitments in the Host City contract. To give a blanket approval to those using vehicles to attend to instances that fall short of actual emergencies, such as a vehicle using a green light, would undermine the performance of the ORN. Green light agencies are not currently permitted to use bus lanes whilst in operation.

4.2.8 Concerns about the Games Lanes 14 Respondents had concerns about the Games Lanes in TOGS 5, V6 and 2b They felt that the lanes would lead to increased traffic congestion in the local area. Example comments included: The A2 is one of the busiest routes...it seems ludicrous to reduce the capacity of this route by introducing Games Lanes. (5) The proposal for reducing the northbound approach to two lanes is a recipe for gridlock on key routes already seriously prone to congestion (2b)

Addressing the issue raised: Games Lanes will help ensure the Games Family (athletes, officials, media and others working at the Games) get to their destination on time, every time which is a key pledge to the International Olympics Committee (IOC). It will be important for everyone to plan ahead when travelling during the Games as all forms of transport will be extremely busy. TfL is planning a series of campaigns to encourage the public to reduce, re-route, re-time their travel. We are also working with businesses to reduce their road journeys to reduce pressure on London’s roads. There will also be an embargo period on all street works on the ORN/PRN during this time to ensure that the network is clear from obstruction.

Specific concerns Issue TOG Response

- 19 -

Why has the Games Lane 2b The northbound Games Lane towards the ended adjacent to Boord Blackwall Tunnel ends close to the Boord Street Street, what happens to junction to allow Games Family and other traffic the remaining section of opportunity to changes lanes on the approach to the road up to the tunnel the Tunnel. Blackwall Tunnel is a heavily trafficked part of the ORN and a lot of work has recently been undertaken to improve safety, lighting and communications systems in the 112-year-old tunnel to ensure its safe continued use in the future. Because of the amount of traffic flowing through the tunnel, we are not proposing to implement any measures in the tunnel; as demonstrated in the consultation drawings, however, there will be measures leading up to the tunnel which will act in a similar way to bus lanes to ensure that Games vehicles can meet journey time commitments. Between Boord Street and the tunnel, the road will operate in the same manner as it does at the moment, including the over height vehicle checks. A 24 hour Games Lane on V6 There are two ahead lanes at the junction of Millennium Way seems Millennium Way and Edmund Halley Way; one of unnecessary these lanes is a short flare that is proposed to be a 24hour Games Lane. The reason for this proposal is to ensure resilience for Games vehicles arriving at the venue and, because it is a short lane approximately 7 car lengths long, it is not envisaged that this will not affect capacity of the junction.

4.2.9 Concerns about Sun in the Sands roundabout/interchange Five respondents raised concerns about the roundabout at Sun in the Sands affecting the resilience of the network and further adding to local congestion. Example comments include:

Concerned about Sun in the Sands...Games Lanes may create a problem entering the roundabout The lanes are not going to make a difference...the problems lies at Sun in the Sands which needs traffic control

Addressing the issue raised - 20 -

There are no proposals for the roundabout at Sun in the Sands. The measures are a Games Lane some distance to the north in the offside lane and a 24 hour bus lane on the approach. Restriction of traffic movements would be part of a wider strategy to control the volume of traffic on the network during the Games. This will be achieved through traffic signal control changes on approaches to Sun in the Sands. In addition, a Travel Demand Management (TDM) programme has been designed to optimise the use of the transport network during the Games, more information about TDM can be found in section 4.2.2 of this report.

4.2.10 Compensation In analysing TOG V4 a couple of respondents queried whether anyone would be eligible for compensation as a result of the proposed traffic restrictions, and included:

We hope that Greenwich Council is being financially compensated for all this complicated planning [Parking proposals] will lead to a significant loss of parking income...would expect a compensation payment for any loss of income

Addressing the issue raised TfL acknowledges that travel disruption across the transport network will affect businesses’, employees, customers, contractors, visitors and suppliers during the Games. There will not be any payments for potential inconvenience or lost business revenue. There has been and will continue to be information about to plan and mitigate against the impacts of the Games. There is also specifically targeted advice programme for businesses to allow businesses to plan for and take advantage of the opportunities from the event.

4.2.11 Consultation process and further information giving Generally, respondents wanted to understand when they were likely to receive further information regarding changes to local arrangements such as bus services. Also, respondents had a desire to be told about local parking and other venue transport arrangements and expressed that this should have formed part of the ORN engagement exercise. Example comments included:

We request that a fuller picture is provided in respect to public transport provision during the Games (V4) We are disappointed that the current (TfL) consultation makes no reference to any mitigation proposals...we ask that full details of the Greenwich Park Traffic Management and Parking Protection Plans should be swiftly produced for consultation (V4) You need to show local residents what it will mean for them – not just pick the roads you are changing (V4) When will residents know about the changes to bus routes? (V6)

- 21 -

Addressing the issue raised TfL is committed to running a transparent and inclusive engagement process. For the ORN and PRN project, TfL distributed information packs to addresses in a c400m radius either side of the ORN. Information was also available at the TfL website and the drop-in sessions were publicised in Greenwich Time.

This engagement exercise was aimed to identify concerns and unforeseen issues and consider potential solutions to these when finalising the designs for the ORN and PRN. It will be followed by ongoing engagement with affected communities up to and including the Games Period. This will include information about other transport services such as changes to local bus routes.

London 2012, together with key transport partners, is developing a temporary plan to manage traffic and parking around the venue. This will help discourage spectators from parking in local roads and minimise disruption to residents and businesses in the area.

At this stage London 2012 and partners are still working through the traffic management and parking requirements that will be needed around the venue. These proposals are being developed in conjunction with the ORN measures to ensure that they both work together.

Once these proposals are at a workable stage London 2012 will notify the whole of the local area that will be affected. The local authority will then need to go through a statutory process of making traffic regulation orders.

TfL is committed to continuing ongoing communication with local residents and businesses. Once details are finalised, we will continue to work to respond to concerns and try and find solutions. At the moment, we are considering the approach for ongoing communications, which this round of public engagement will inform, in the lead up to and throughout the Games, which we will be in touch with the local authority to discuss the best ways to do this locally.

4.2.12 The removal of speed humps and the weight restriction on Charlton Park Lane (V5) Two comments were made about the removal of the speed humps along Charlton Park Lane, including:

Is the removal of speed humps necessary...the Olympic associated drivers are at least likely to drive fast Some speed calming measures need to be retained along this route...

Addressing the issues raised The proposal to temporarily remove the road humps along Charlton Park Lane is to meet journey time reliability for the Games Family which is a key commitment as Olympic City hosts. Following safety audit it is proposed to renew existing ‘SLOW’ markings along

- 22 -

Charlton Park Lane. It should be noted that the closure of Ha Ha Road will reduce the attractiveness of this road as a through route, thereby reducing through traffic on this route Work to remove the road humps would take place at night when it will cause the minimum amount of disruption to road users. TfL is currently discussing various options relating to managing the London Borough of Greenwich’s safety concerns.

The speed limits on the ORN and PRN will remain the same but removing the speed humps is necessary as it provides a 30 to 50 second journey time saving per official Games vehicle. The removal of these speed humps are temporary and will be reinstated after the Paralympic Games. Journey time commitments between competition and accommodation venues are based on vehicles driving within the speed limit. It is not expected any Games vehicles will need to exceed any speed limits on the networks.

For the weight restriction, one respondent wanted to know whether this intervention would be signed back to the A207.

Addressing the issue raised: There will be signs at the point of entry to this restriction; we will look in to the need for any advance warning signs. Exits for any overweight vehicles are via Stadium Road and Canberra Road, as per the current situation.

4.2.13 Access to Queen Elizabeth Hospital (V5) For TOG V5, three respondents were concerned that the proposals would have an impact on access to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, example comments include: How will we be able to get to the hospital from Charlton if the roads will be closed...there seems to be no provision

Addressing the issue raised General traffic is able to use the ORN and TfL is not proposing to close Charlton Park Lane.

4.2.14 Concerns about the Blackwall Tunnel (2b) Six Respondents raised a number of concerns regarding the Blackwall Tunnel and made reference their previous experiences of the tunnel. Example comments included: What provision has been made to avoid breakdowns in the tunnel’ The Blackwall Tunnel...not designed to cope with increasing number of vehicles Blackwall Lane/tunnel has long withstanding problems...this stretch of road is intimidating

Addressing the issues raised TfL recognises that the Blackwall Tunnel is a heavily trafficked part of the road network and this will continue to be the case when it forms part of the ORN and PRN. A lot of work has recently been undertaken to improve safety, lighting and communications systems in the 112-year-old tunnel to ensure its safe continued use in the future. This includes on-going refurbishment of the northbound section of the tunnel, with a new fire and incident detection - 23 -

system, better access for emergency services and a new CCTV camera system being installed. This work started in February 2010 and is expected to continue until December 2011.

Because of the amount of traffic flowing through the tunnel, we are not proposing to implement any measures in the tunnel; as demonstrated in the consultation drawings, however, there will be measures leading up to the tunnel which will act in a similar way to bus lanes to ensure that Games vehicles can meet journey time commitments.

TfL is working with the Blackwall Tunnel operators and the Met Police to ensure that there is a contingency plan in place for the Games. In addition, similar measures will be in place to ensure messages advising drivers to avoid the area should an incident occur will be implemented via local radio and advance warning signs on approach roads – very similar to what currently happens when there is an incident.

4.2.15 Concerns about Millennium Way (V6) One respondent made particular reference to increasing congestion in the Millennium Way area and felt that these proposals would make it worse. Example comments included:

Tunnel Avenue has become a rat run...main traffic will become worse if the northbound lane is excluded A 24 hour restriction on the stretch is bound to have a severe impact on North Greenwich Underground Station

Addressing the issues raised: Since the temporary closure, at the junction of Tunnel Avenue and Blackwall Tunnel, to facilitate a non-Olympic scheme, we have observed that the ‘rat running’ from Millennium Way to Tunnel Avenue has reduced. TfL do not anticipate that this will alter for the Games period.

North Greenwich London Underground Station has been extensively used by people attending large events since its completion and will be promoted as one of the key transport interchanges for spectators attending events at the North Greenwich Arena during the Games. There are two ahead lanes at the junction of Millennium Way and Edmund Halley Way; the shorter lane is proposed to be a 24hour Games Lane. The reason for this proposal is to ensure resilience for Games vehicles arriving at the venue, and, because it is a short lane approximately seven car lengths long, it is not envisaged that this will affect capacity of the junction.

It is to be noted that commuters should plan ahead when travelling to this station as there could be significant additional delays of over an hour in accessing train services on some parts of the Jubilee Line. Extensive travel information before and after the Games will help the public plan and prepare.

- 24 -

In addition, following a request from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), Millennium Way north of Edmund Halley Way will be restricted 24 hours a day except for Games vehicles and access to Tunnel Avenue. 4.2.16 Other themes There were a number of other themes arising from this consultation exercise non Olympic/Paralympic Route Network specific. These mainly related to the usage of Greenwich Park as a competition venue and the use of North Greenwich London Underground Station. Example comments included:

The closure of the road through the Park and Charlton Way will generate problems from April to October Talbot Place is proposed for cycle storage for all events in Greenwich Park. This seems far too remote a location for the storage of cycles for the 750 spectators to arrive by cycle of Cross Country Day Will there be a courier post centre for the venue in Greenwich Park? The test event has revealed major problems for disabled access, blue badge parking and secure cycle parking Can you please advise how...will be able to obtain a permit or permits to allow contractor vehicles to park in Park Vista during the Olympic Road close down I feel that Greenwich was not the ideal venue for this event and will cause unbelievable problems for us all It might have been considerate offer to provide some sort of priority tickets for local residents being directly impacted Are some areas of the Park not expected to return to normal until 2015 – is this true? The impact on North Greenwich Station

Addressing the issues raised Since October 2011, TfL has had responsibility for the development and implementation of the ORN and PRN and for travel demand management for the Games, which includes advice to businesses and freight operators in London.

The objective of this exercise was aimed to identify concerns and unforeseen issues and consider potential solutions to these when finalising the designs for the ORN/PRN. It will be followed by ongoing engagement with affected communities up to and including the Games period. This will include information about other transport services such as changes to local bus routes.

Many of the above comments relate to the other transport/ arrangements for the venue and the areas around the venues and TfL has notified London 2012 delivery partners about these issues raised.

5. Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders

- 25 -

5.1 Response from the London Borough of Greenwich: Councillor Denise Hyland, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Enterprise and Skills.

The London Borough of Greenwich felt that they could not endorse the ORN and PRN proposals as currently drafted and that it was difficult to comment in the absence of the Local Area Traffic Management and Parking/ Last Mile Plans. Their response included specific concerns for each TOG, some of which have been addressed in this report. Other concerns include:

The lanes are Approach (6am to proposed to operate between 6am and midnight midnight) are excessive for consistency on the ORN either side of the Blackwall Tunnel. This consistency means that public can easily understand the restrictions and are not fined unnecessarily by enforcement cameras because the restrictions keep changing. Modelling to show the ALL TfL have developed stand alone traffic models for impact on general traffic all of the junctions on the ORN using either Linsig seems not to have been or Transyt. As these, in isolation, do not reflect the fully developed – more expected Games time situation a strategic model information required has been used to assess the impact of all the measures on the road network. This information has been shared with the Borough Officers. As designs are developed, the strategic modelling is updated and reissued to the boroughs.

TfL is prepared to provide further details of the modelling results it has to date and a meeting with relevant TfL officers and the London Borough of Greenwich can be arranged to discuss what information is required. The removal of signals 2b In light of the concern about the safety of and use of a Give Way temporarily removing the signals at Horn Lane system at the Horn Lane and replacing with Give Way, the safety of the slip road is not supported proposal has been further reviewed. Provided the under safety grounds new arrangement is adequately signed and

It is noted that Give Way entries to gyratory systems are very common, visibility is acceptable and that pedestrians do not cross here. If you a particular safety concern is highlighted, it will be further considered.

The impact of the bus lane is currently being worked through.

This is as a result of the vehicles maintaining a constant speed and not speeding. Some coaches will be using this road and the removal of the speed humps will also remove the possible noise and vibration from larger vehicles braking, negotiating the speed hump, and accelerating off again. The use of speed cushions, while an improvement on road humps, would still delay Games vehicles. Also, as on- street parking will be arranged differently during the Games compared to after the Games, it is likely that the location of cushions would need to be different for the two scenarios. TfL is in discussion with the London Borough of Greenwich about the best possible management of this temporary proposal.

5.1.2 Response from the Royal Parks The Royal Parks requested further information about how they will be able to obtain a permit, or permits to allow contractor vehicles to park in Park Vista Road during the Olympic Games road closedown.

Addressing their issue: LATM&P: Local Area Traffic Management and Parking Plan (London 2012) London 2012, together with key transport partners, is developing a temporary plan to manage traffic and parking around the venue. This will help discourage spectators from parking in local roads and minimise disruption to residents and businesses in the area.

At this stage London 2012 and partners are still working through these traffic management and parking requirements that will be needed around the venue. These proposals are being developed in conjunction with the ORN measures to ensure that they both work together.

London 2012 are extremely clear that one of our primary aims is to ensure that all residents and businesses living and located around the Park are able to carry on with their daily activities and are still be able to continue to park their vehicles near their properties. Arrangements will be made to ensure that everyday activities such as deliveries can also still continue.

To enable London 2012 to stage a successful Games a number of key messages must be conveyed in relation to transport. Through public consultation and engagement, the aim is: To reassure that disruptions to all residents and businesses surrounding Games venues will be kept to a minimum; and That we will keep traffic moving

These messages must be conveyed to the local community to ensure they are aware of any short- term changes to the local road network and parking prior to and during the Games. LOCOG will collaborate with the local authority and TfL to ensure that these messages are delivered to the appropriate individuals, groups and their parties within the LATM&P local area.

Once these proposals are at a workable stage London 2012 will notify the whole of the local area that will be affected. The local authority will then need to go through a statutory process of making traffic regulation orders and London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is working with The Royal Parks to understand all their Games time operational requirements.

5.1.3 The Westcombe Society

- 29 -

The Westcombe Society provided an in depth response mainly to TOGs V4, 5 and 2b for this engagement exercise. They had a number of suggestions and concerns about the proposals, many of which came from observing the test event at Greenwich Park. Comments included: The duration of the proposals and that the ORN should only be in operation around the Park a couple of days either side of the event Parking in Maze Hill and that local resident parking should be protected throughout the Games period, especially to those in the EG CPZ Concerns that tailbacks forming on Maze Hill will block the proposed entrance to Park Vista The re-phasing of the traffic lights at the Gibb Memorial Concerns about tailbacks approaching the Prince Charles Roundabout from the north along Prince Charles Road Concerns about the loss of local bus stops in Prince Charles Road and Charlton Park Way The success of the Games Lanes on Shooters Hill Road will depend on traffic approaching the Sun in the Sands roundabout The testing of the Woolwich Road junction traffic signals prior to the Games Knock on effect to local congestion due to the proposals for Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach Impacts on other transport arrangements including cycling, pedestrians, disabled parking access and North Greenwich Station

Addressing the issues raised TfL thanks the Westcombe Society for its comments about behaviour of general traffic during the Greenwich Park test event, including the comprehensive appendix of observation. Many of the Society’s concerns have been incorporated into the main report along with a response from TfL.

We envisage that the behaviour of general traffic will be different to that experienced to the test event. To ensure a smooth flow of traffic on the network, temporary changes to traffic signal timings will be needed and may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and PRN. The experience of previous Games is that general traffic will be lower and there will also be the ‘holiday’ effect during late July and August. Additionally, TfL will be running a Travel Demand Management campaign (refer to point 4.2.2 in this report).

5.1.4 Greenwich Society The Greenwich Society also provided an in-depth response outlining their concerns about the ORN proposals for TOG V4 which included: The current consultation did not include mitigation proposals for loss of parking Duration of the ORN and PRN proposals To allow spaces in EG CPZ for residents and businesses only – and for full details of the Greenwich Park Traffic Management and Parking Plans to be swiftly produced A fuller picture is provided in respect to public transport during the Games. - 30 -

Addressing the issues raised TfL thanks the Greenwich Society for its comments, especially in relation to parking many of which are addressed in point 4.2.1 in this report. TfL is committed to working with delivery partners such as London 2012 to provide a more holistic insight for local arrangements to transport during the Games. The objective of this exercise was aimed to identify concerns and unforeseen issues and consider potential solutions to these when finalising the designs for the ORN and PRN. It will be followed by ongoing engagement with affected communities up to and including the Games Period. This will include information about other transport services such as changes to local bus routes.

5.1.5 The London Ambulance Service

The London Ambulance Service made reference to TOG 2b, with particular concern to access to Tunnel Avenue. They current use Tunnel Avenue at times of heavy traffic congestion on the Tunnel Approach Road, to bypass traffic to get to the Blackwall Tunnel. They want to be reassured that journey times would not be further extended and also to be kept informed about the use of Tunnel Avenue as part of the ORN. Addressing the issue raised

Tunnel Avenue was formally designated by the DfT as part of the ORN in July 2011. Currently TfL have no ORN proposals for Tunnel Avenue, but this is subject to further review once LOCOG's venue proposals for North Greenwich Arena are confirmed.

5.1.6 NHS Southeast – Greenwich BSU The NHS wanted to understand what the arrangements were if a patient was to have a hospital appointment whilst the ORN and PRN was operating and they had a Dial –A-Ride pick up arranged and whether a midwife/doctor were be required to visit a patient during operational hours?

Addressing the issue raised Exemptions on the network have been addressed in point 4.2.7 of this report.

Dial-a-ride vehicles displaying the blue badges are able to stop/pick up on the ORN and PRN but not in the Games Lanes. The only request is that this is undertaken promptly so as not to impede general traffic.

5.1.7 RMT London Taxi Branch Responses from the branch felt that taxis should be exempt from certain restrictions along the network. They made particular reference to stopping restrictions and that on any map where buses are permitted than the same should be applied to taxis. They also requested that the width restrictions and give way points on Maze Hill should be removed.

- 31 -

Addressing the issues raised Addressing the issue regarding exemptions on the network can be found in section 4.2.7 of this report.

TfL is committed to working with stakeholders and finding acceptable solutions where practical and possible. It will continue to discuss specific sections of the ORN with the taxi industry to work through the section specific issues that they have raised.

The removal of the width restrictions on Maze Hill is not necessary for the Games vehicles. These were installed by the Council to prevent ‘rat running’ along Maze Hill and will be retained for the Games period.

5.1.8 DHL Global Mail In responding to Greenwich consultation, DHL raised a number of concerns including: What plans are there to alleviate the additional traffic issues that the ORN will create (V5, V4) Will there be a courier/post centre for Greenwich Park?

Addressing the issue raised: London 2012 is working with the Mayor of London, TfL and the London boroughs to ensure there is effective communication with businesses and the freight industry about how any measures associated with the Games and other events might affect them and how they can plan ahead. This work stream is known as Travel Advice to Business. Further information is available at: www.london2012.com/get-involved/business-network/travel-advice-for- business and will help to ensure that London keeps moving and working throughout summer 2012. Equally, TfL and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) are fully aware of the importance of the supply chain to both businesses and the local community. A dedicated team is working with the Road Freight industry and businesses to ensure continuity of supply during the Games for all impacted areas. DHL is a member of the Road Freight Working Group which is used as a conduit to pass information to the road freight industry as it is released. TfL’s Olympic Road Freight team will continue to work with DH: in the run up to the Games to ensure where possible continuity of supply. Issues regarding local congestion has been responded to in point 4.2.2 of this report. The request regarding a courier/postal facility at Greenwich Park has been passed to TfL’s London 2012 delivery partners. A plan will be published that outlines how deliveries and postal facilities will be operated at venues. This will be available through LOCOG (London 2012) and UPS website when it is published. 5.1.9 Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park In reference to TOG V6, the Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park raised how families will be able to access the park during the Games, whether the proposals will have impacts on staff

- 32 -

parking and their emergency access. They want to be included in receiving more information about Games related transport changed (such as road closures, Thames Path changes) so they can plan for the Games.

Addressing the issues raised TfL encourages the Park to access further information from the workstream Travel Advice to Business: www.london2012.com/get-involved/business-network/travel-advice-for-business to assist with planning ahead for the Games. There are plenty of self help tool kits to help work out how the Games could impact business in specific areas such as North Greenwich. TfL is committed in providing more information about local changes to the transport network and this is addressed in point 4.2.11 of this report. Although staff/family parking may not be impacted by the ORN proposals, London 2012 is developing a Traffic Management and Parking Protection Plan which ensures that all residents and businesses living and located around the Park are able to carry on with their daily activities and are still be able to continue to park their vehicles near their properties. This has been addressed in 4.2.1 of this report.

5.1.10 Greenwich Safe Neighbourhood Coalition In response to 2b the Greenwich Safe Neighbourhood Coalition felt that an alternative network should be used through SE London such as the Woolwich Ferry route to ease congestion. They were also concerned about congestion and safety in the Blackwall Tunnel/ Lane as this route is already congested.

Addressing the issues raised The Department for Transport (DfT) consulted on the designated route for the ORN and PRN in 2009. This consultation focused on the road which should be included in the ORN and PRN and their designation was made by the Secretary of State for Transport. The route along A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach was selected because the other option, Blackwall Lane and Trafalgar Road are single carriageway with business and residential frontages. It was felt that a strategic road such as the A102 would be preferable to carry the Games vehicles and links well with how the venue will operate. Signed diversion routes for general traffic will be in use and local drivers will use their knowledge to use other routes, such as the Woolwich Ferry route, to ease congestion.

A response to the Blackwall Tunnel/ Lane is addressed in point 4.2.14 of this report.

The plans for this section of the ORN may be subject to further enhancement, once the details of all the Greenwich London 2012 competition venues requirements are finalised.

6. Conclusion and actions from engagement

6.1 Conclusions and actions

- 33 -

Transport for London (TfL) will consider all feedback received during the engagement process and following requests from respondents, TfL will work with London 2012 delivery partners and the London Borough of Greenwich to review the need for parking permits on Maze Hill. TfL will also look into providing appropriate signing for the Charlton Park Lane weight restriction and allowing buses into the proposed Games Lane on Shooters Hill Road leading up to Sun in the Sands.

Following a request from the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG), Millennium Way north of Edmund Halley Way will be restricted 24 hours a day except for Games vehicles and access to Tunnel Avenue. In addition, following feedback TfL is reviewing the operational period of the ORN and PRN. The ORN and PRN will now only operate during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and for a few days before and after them for the arrival and departure of the Games Family.

6.2 Next steps TfL will continue consultation with the community and local stakeholders as part of the process of making Traffic Regulation Orders. Traffic Regulation Orders will follow the statutory process set out in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and will be made by the Olympic Delivery Authority using powers set out in the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006.

The plans for this section of the ORN and PRN may be subject to further enhancement once the details of the venue requirements at Greenwich are finalised.

Network Engagement 5th Floor 9 June 2011 Palestra London SE1 8NJ Dear Occupier tfl.gov.uk Temporary road changes for the London 2012 Games

Transport for London (TfL) is writing to let you know about proposals to make temporary changes to roads in your area for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN) Several roads in your area will form part of the ORN/PRN to help ensure that athletes, officials and media get to events on time. They also aim to allow Londoners to go about their everyday lives with the minimum of disruption. There are a number of roads in Greenwich, including the A102 Blackwall Tunnel that will provide key links to and from the Greenwich competition venues. This letter refers to the route via Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach and North Greenwich Arena to Blackwall Lane (Millennium Way) that will provide a key link to the North Greenwich Arena, Greenwich Park and the Royal Artillery Barracks. You may receive additional letters about other roads in Greenwich and will need to reply separately to these.

General traffic can continue to use the ORN and residents and businesses will have access to their properties. However, to keep traffic moving on these routes there will be some temporary changes to the way the roads can be used. These changes may include reserving a lane for official Games vehicles use, preventing turns into roads, suspension of parking and loading bays and changes to bus lanes and stops.

The changes may mean that you will need to use diversion routes and stopping and loading could be restricted in some locations. These changes are likely to operate 24 hours a day, unless otherwise stated.

How to find out more Details of the proposed ORN changes are now available for you to comment on. The ORN has been divided into sections for the purpose of consultation. You may receive more than one letter if you are on the border of two sections.

Please see the attached overview map and visit our website for more details about this and all ORN sections in Greenwich: tfl.gov.uk/ORN.

The plans reflect a number of improvements already secured by Greenwich Council on behalf of local residents. For instance, the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach will only operate a northbound Games Lanes rather than in both directions.

North Greenwich Arena Traffic Management and Parking Protection Area London 2012, together with key transport partners, is developing a temporary plan to manage traffic and parking around the North Greenwich Arena. This will help discourage spectators from parking in local roads and minimise disruption to residents and businesses in the area.

The plan may include temporary parking controls on event days, road closures and changes to operation at peak times. Residents and businesses will still be able to continue to park their vehicles near their properties and arrangements will be made to ensure that everyday activities such as deliveries can continue. These plans are being developed and London 2012 and partners will be contacting you later this year to provide information about the proposals.

What happens next? This communication is to obtain your initial views and comments during the ORN design stage. It does not form part of the statutory consultation process, which will follow as part of the legal procedure for implementing the final measures. The statutory consultation process will be the opportunity for you to make formal representation about the proposals and this will be advertised locally and on the TfL website.

Once detailed proposals are finalised, we will continue to work with you to respond to your concerns and try to find solutions. Extensive travel information before and during the Games will help you plan ahead and prepare for this once in a lifetime event.

Yours faithfully

Olympic and Paralympic Route Network – A102 Blackwall Tunnel to Sun in the Sands

How this could affect you

To keep traffic moving on this priority route, there will be some temporary changes to the way the road can be used. As this route will be needed for Games preparations, it is expected to operate from mid July until mid September. The proposed changes include: • An offside Games Lane, generally from 6am–midnight northbound on the A102 between Sun in the Sands and Blackwall Lane approach. General traffic will need to use other lanes which could mean they experience queuing and delays • Northbound lanes on the A102 re-marked to maintain two general traffic lanes from Sun in the Sands interchange • The exit from A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach to Boord Street will be for Official Games vehicles and buses only • Boord Street north side No Waiting restrictions will be changed to No Stopping 24 Hours. This may affect night club pick-up/drop-off, but this remains possible along opposite side of road • A 24 hour bus lane will run on the A2 entry slip from Rochester Way northbound. This could mean general traffic experiences queuing due to the reduction in traffic lanes on the approach to Sun in the Sands roundabout • The southbound entry arm from A102/Peartree Way to Woolwich Road interchange will be converted to ‘give way’ priority from signal control to help to manage traffic flow • Temporary changes to some traffic signal timings will be needed to smooth the flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time Please visit tfl.gov.uk/ORN for full details of proposed changes. Key points to note • The proposed road changes are temporary and required to meet the needs of the London 2012 Games. They will operate 24 hours a day on the same dates as Games Lanes, unless otherwise stated • The time required for installing and removing some physical measures will be advised at a later date and may extend the period that the changes are in place • Parking, loading and waiting controls remain unaltered unless otherwise stated • This design may change if the needs of the London 2012 Games alter

Olympic and Paralympic Route Network – North Greenwich Arena to Blackwall Lane (Millennium Way)

How this could affect you

To keep traffic moving on this priority route, there will be some temporary changes to the way the road can be used. They are expected to be in place from late July to mid September 2012. The proposed changes include: • A nearside Games Lane on Millennium Way northbound approach to the traffic signal, to operate 24 hours a day • A banned right turn from Edmund Halley Way to Millennium Way to smooth traffic flow on the ORN/ PRN • No stopping at any time on the north side of Boord Street to provide a priority route for Games vehicles. Stopping will still be allowed on the south side of the street to allow vehicles to pick up and drop off passengers for nearby night clubs • Temporary changes to traffic signal timings will be needed when the network is being used by Games vehicles to ensure the smooth flow of traffic on the ORN. This may affect traffic on the approaches to the ORN and motorists are advised to consider alternative routes, as well as reducing their overall need to travel during Games time Traffic will be advised to find alternative routes where necessary. Signed diversion routes will be in place mainly at heavily used junctions. Please visit tfl.gov.uk/ORN for full details of proposed changes. Key points to note • The proposed road changes are temporary and required to meet the needs of the London 2012 Games. They will operate 24 hours a day on the same dates as Games Lanes, unless otherwise stated • The time required for installing and removing some physical measures will be advised at a later date and may extend the period that the changes are in place • Parking, loading and waiting controls remain unaltered unless otherwise stated • This design may change if the needs of the London 2012 Games alter
