We published our analysis of the responses and our responses to the issues raised at tfl.gov.uk/cs9 The scheme is an important part of the Mayor’s Healthy Streets Approach, which aims to make London greener, healthier and more pleasant through encouraging walking, cycling and the use of public transport. The feedback we received was valuable in helping us to further improve the scheme. Overall, we are progressing our plans for the scheme as outlined in the January 2019 Response to Issues Raised report. In response to the feedback received, we carried out a further consultation on two parts of the route between 30 January and 26 February 2019: Kew Bridge and Kew Bridge Road (High Street Brentford to Wellesley Road) Duke Road and Duke’s Avenue’s junction with Chiswick High Road The further consultation asked for feedback on the proposals in these two areas from residents, businesses, employers, transport users and other relevant stakeholders. We publicised the consultation using leaflets distributed across a wide area, targeted email campaigns and via news stories in regional and local media. This document explains the processes of the consultation, and provides an update on responses. We received 1,491 responses to the consultation. 38 of the responses were from stakeholder groups, which comprised politicians, transport and road user groups, businesses and employers, local interest groups and schools. We have summarised the issues raised by these stakeholders in Appendix E. There were 12 campaign style responses from owners of properties at Kew Bridge, 8 Kew Bridge Road, these were broadly based on the response from the Key Bridge Owners Association. These have been included in the overall responses. Many of the responses provided detailed feedback which we analysed in depth to ensure we understood views raised on the scheme. Next steps The feedback we received was valuable in helping us to further improve the scheme. We have produced a detailed Response to Issues Raised report available on our website tfl.gov.uk/kew-duke 4 1. About the proposals 1.1 Introduction We consulted on our proposals for Cycle Superhighway 9 in autumn 2017. The route is an important part of the Mayor’s Healthy Streets Approach, which aims to make London greener, healthier and more pleasant through encouraging walking, cycling and the use of public transport. We have published an analysis of the responses and our response to the issues raised here. The feedback we received was valuable in helping us to further improve the scheme. In response to feedback received through the consultation, we carried out a further consultation on two parts of the route: Kew Bridge and Kew Bridge Road (High Street Brentford to Wellesley Road) Duke Road and Duke’s Avenue’s junction with Chiswick High Road 1.2 Purpose We wanted to hear views on the further proposals in these two areas. Other than the two sections identified for further consultation, we will be progressing our plans for the route as outlined in the Response to Issues Raised report. No further consultation was planned on the proposals for the route except for the two parts of the route above. We will carry out local engagement on the rest of our proposals later in the process. We are intending to proceed with our proposals subject to formal approvals. 1.3 Detailed description We published detailed proposals on our website at tfl.gov.uk/kew-duke. There, we provided an overview of the scheme, along with maps and a computer-generated image of the Kew Bridge junction showing how the junction would look if our proposals were implemented. Our survey asked for comments about our proposals in the two areas. The summary text of our consultation proposals is reproduced in Appendix A. The full consultation material (including section summaries, traffic impacts, maps and images) will remain available at tfl.gov.uk/kew-duke Kew Bridge and Kew Bridge Road (High Street Brentford to Wellesley Road) The main change we are proposing is to provide a segregated two-way cycle track on the south side of Kew Bridge Road and South Circular Road. Previously we proposed with-flow segregated cycle tracks and a bus lane on
