    Sutton Link, Sutton Local Committee Daniel Doris - Major Scheme Programme Manager 6th September 2018 Background ● The Tram extension has been part of strategic planning policy for over 20 years. It is part of a shared aspiration to address the public transport deficit in South London, and support high quality sub-regional economic growth. ● Since 2013, Sutton and Merton have been working in collaboration with TfL, to undertake the necessary feasibility work to deliver the extension. ● A public consultation carried out by Sutton and Merton, supported by TfL, in 2014 received over 10,000 responses with 84% of people supporting the extension. In addition the scheme features in the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and Sutton’s Local Plan. ● TfL has publically committed £70m funding (from the Growth Fund). Furthermore, TfL have committed to undertaking the necessary feasibility works required to deliver a Transport & Works Act Order (TWAO) which is necessary to gain consent to deliver the scheme. The Benefits ● Extending the Tram network to Sutton would have a range of benefits for residents and businesses across south London addressing the lack of public transport investment in this part of outer London. ● The on road alignment (from Morden Road to Sutton Station, via St Helier Hospital) could improve access to Transport to 59,000* people in some of Sutton and Merton’s most deprived wards. ● It could facilitate the connections between key interchanges, such as Sutton station, Morden underground (Northern Line) and Wimbledon (National Rail Services and the District Line), improving connectivity for residents in both boroughs across south London and to central London.

  • A Study on Connectivity and Accessibility Between Tram Stops and Public Facilities: a Case Study in the Historic Cities of Europe
    Urban Street Design & Planning 73 A study on connectivity and accessibility between tram stops and public facilities: a case study in the historic cities of Europe Y. Kitao1 & K. Hirano2 1Kyoto Women’s University, Japan 2Kei Atelier, Yame, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract The purpose of this paper is to understand urban structures in terms of tram networks by using the examples of historic cities in Europe. We have incorporated the concept of interconnectivity and accessibility between public facilities and tram stops to examine how European cities, which have built world class public transportation systems, use the tram network in relationship to their public facilities. We selected western European tram-type cities which have a bus system, but no subway system, and we focused on 24 historic cities with populations from 100,000 to 200,000, which is the optimum size for a large-scale community. In order to analyze the relationship, we mapped the ‘pedestrian accessible area’ from any tram station in the city, and analyzed how many public facilities and pedestrian streets were in this area. As a result, we were able to compare the urban space structures of these cities in terms of the accessibility and connectivity between their tram stops and their public facilities. Thus we could understand the features which determined the relationship between urban space and urban facilities. This enabled us to evaluate which of our target cities was the most pedestrian orientated city. Finally, we were able to define five categories of tram-type cities. These findings have provided us with a means to recognize the urban space structure of a city, which will help us to improve city planning in Japan.
