QUESTIONS FOR WRITTEN ANSWER Questions not asked during Mayor’s Question time will be given a written response by 20 October, 2020. Healthy Streets Programme Question No: 2020/3250 Caroline Pidgeon In answer to question 2020/2550 in response to my request to list all TfL schemes under the Healthy Streets Programme that are currently paused, you instead published a list of Healthy Streets schemes which TfL intends to progress with. As requested in question 2020/2550 please list the schemes under the TfL Healthy Streets Programme that are currently paused. Brownhill Road/Torridon Road Junction Question No: 2020/3251 Caroline Pidgeon In answer to Question 2020/0990 you stated: “Transport for London (TfL) has plans to improve the junction between Brownhill Road and Torridon Road. Design work on a new pedestrian crossing at this junction is almost complete and there will be engagement with local people in the coming months, ahead of construction starting later this year.” Please can you give an update to the local community as to when exactly this junction will be made safer and accessible for pedestrians. Please also provide an exact date for construction work. Page 5 Waterloo and City Line Question No: 2020/3252 Caroline Pidgeon Please provide an update as to when this London Underground line will re-open and the continued grounds for its closure? Two-mile rule for free school travel Question No: 2020/3253 Caroline Pidgeon Many young people and parents would welcome clarification concerning the proposed ‘2 mile rule’, if the under 18s free travel is scrapped due to an imposed policy by central Government. Can you confirm the two miles will be measured by ‘safe walking route’ and not ‘as the crow flies’? Could you also explain what calculation will be used to determine what is the shortest safe walking route from a child’s home to their school? Can you further confirm that, until a safe walking/cycling crossing has been constructed, Hammersmith Bridge will not be considered a possible walking route under these new rules? TfL staff providing sighted guided assistance for people with a sight loss Question No: 2020/3254 Caroline Pidgeon While recognising that TfL is changing their policy later this month, please state why TfL withdrew the provision of providing sighted guiding assistance for people with sight loss at the outset of the Covid pandemic, which was a totally different approach to train operators across the UK who introduced an operational policy that enabled staff to continue to provide sighted guiding assistance from the start of the pandemic in a safe way for both passengers and staff. Publication of information on the TfL website (1) Question No: 2020/3255 Caroline Pidgeon For many years TfL regularly published weekly passenger numbers on its website for the use of the cable car, however at present the most recent published figures by TfL are for the week ending 13 June 2020 and show 3341 people using it in the previous seven days. Will you ensure that TfL continues to publish this information on a regular basis. Please provide the latest weekly figures. Page 6 Publication of information on the TfL website (2) Question No: 2020/3256 Caroline Pidgeon TfL’s website on the page ‘Underground services performance’ currently only publishes performance figures for Period 9 - 2019/20 (from 10 November to 7 December 2019). Will you ensure that TfL provides up to date information on its website? Thames cable car Question No: 2020/3257 Caroline Pidgeon The previous Mayor announced on the 7 October 2011 a ten-year sponsorship deal for the Thames cable car. Since the commencement of the cable car passenger numbers have been dismal after its temporary popularity during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Ahead of the renewal of any sponsorship deal will you make a commitment to a totally different ticket pricing policy which actually encourages people to use it on a regular basis, such as charging regular users no more than a bus fare. Do you further accept that running the cable car as a form of public transport and not a tourist attraction is the only way to ensure a reasonable number of people regularly use the cable car? Possible correlation between Covid cases and the London Underground Question No: 2020/3258 Caroline Pidgeon Recent mapping of Covid cases in London shows an overlap with London Underground lines.
