  • Highbury Corner for Pedestrians and Cyclists, and on Changes to Bus Services
    HHHighburyghbury Corner Response to issues raised Corner Response to March 2018 issues raised March 2018 1 Executive Summary Between 5 February and 20 March 2016 TfL and Islington Council consulted jointly on proposed improvements to Highbury Corner for pedestrians and cyclists, and on changes to bus services. In August 2016 we published a report which summarised the consultation process and the responses we received. This new report provides our response to the issues commonly raised during the consultation and explains the changes to the scheme we plan to make as a result. Overall responses to consultation We received 2,823 responses to the consultation. The overall responses show that the majority of respondents believed the new road layout proposals for Highbury Corner would: • Improve conditions for pedestrians (71%) • Improve conditions for cyclists (67%) • Improve conditions for tube/rail passengers (59%) • Make conditions worse for motorists (35%) • Make conditions worse for bus passengers (33%) When asked to select a preference for the proposed new public space: • 14% chose Option 1 (keep the arboretum closed to the public) • 56% chose Option 2 (open up the arboretum for public use) • 17% didn’t want either option • 13% did not answer the question Some of the main issues raised were: • Supportive comments that the changes would create a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists • Concerns that the proposals would lead to increased traffic congestion and longer journey times for motor traffic • Concerns regarding the impacts of proposed changes to bus route 277 How we intend to proceed Having considered the feedback to the consultation, and subject to approvals, we intend to proceed with the changes to Highbury Corner, with some changes to what was proposed at the last consultation in 2016.
