Mayor of London's Cycle Super Highway Route 8 The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Key Decision Report dated 8 February 2011 For Decision by Councillor Paget-Brown, Cabinet Member for Transportation, Environment and Leisure MAYOR OF LONDON’S CYCLE SUPER HIGHWAY ROUTE 8 –PROPOSALS FOR CHELSEA BRIDGE 1. Introduction 1.1 I seek your approval of Transport for London’s detailed design proposals for Cycle Super Highway Route 8 on Chelsea Bridge and the Chelsea Bridge Road approach to Grosvenor Road. 2 Background 2.1 Transport for London (TfL) is creating twelve Cycle Super Highways (CSHs) between parts of outer London and key central London destinations. TfL has already opened the first two CSHs, running between Merton and the City and Barking and Tower Gate. TfL plans to implement the remaining ten by 2015. The CSHs have a distinctive identity with the use of blue markings and route signposting. 2.2 According to TfL, the CSHs improve conditions for cyclists already using the routes to commute to work, and will encourage more people to cycle. TfL claims that the first two routes have increased the numbers of cyclists using those particular roads by 25 per cent. TfL say that 60 per cent of cyclists they interviewed on the routes said they felt safer riding in the blue cycle lanes. TfL has promised to share with us the detailed data they have collected on the first two routes later this year. 2.3 Much of the CSH network is on TfL’s roads, but it also uses some borough roads. TfL has no specific powers to impose CSH measures on borough roads, although, as with all of the policies in his Transport Strategy, the Mayor of London does have powers to issue directions to boroughs to carry out actions in support of his strategy. 1 2.4 Two of the ten remaining proposed CSHs, Route 8 (Wandsworth to Westminster) and Route 9 (Hounslow to Hyde Park) will run through part of the Royal Borough. 2.5 This report deals with proposals for Route 8 which TfL wants to complete by this summer. This route runs along Chelsea Bridge and Grosvenor Road in Westminster. We have signed a Memo of Understanding with TfL committing us to work together to secure the implementation of Route 8, subject to our consents and approvals. We have had discussions with TfL about the development of their proposals and we have told them unequivocally about our concerns over some aspects of the standard CSH designs, particularly the streetscape implications of blue carriageway surfacing and additional signage. 2.6 TfL has shown us its final designs for Chelsea Bridge and its junction with Grosvenor Road. TfL has proposed minor changes on the Chelsea Bridge Road approach to the Grosvenor Road junction. Both Chelsea Bridge and Chelsea Bridge Road are boundary roads, but under a boundary agreement, the Royal Borough has traffic and maintenance responsibility for all of Chelsea Bridge and also for all but the eastern footway of Chelsea Bridge Road. 2.7 The Chelsea Bridge junction with Grosvenor Road is part of Transport for London’s road network. TfL has told us that they will not change the alignment of the route if we do not approve the measures – there would just be a short gap in signage and markings along this section. 3. Need 3.1 Cycle use in the Royal Borough has almost doubled in the past ten years and initiatives like the London Cycle Hire scheme are encouraging still more people to cycle. Chelsea Bridge is heavily used by commuter cyclists. The cycle flows across the bridge are tidal with about 900 cyclists crossing northbound in the am peak hour and a similar number going southbound in the evening peak. At present cyclists can use the existing northbound bus lane which operates between 7am-10am Monday to Friday and runs to the middle of the bridge from the south side. 3.2 We receive regular complaints about cyclists using the Chelsea Bridge footways instead of the carriageway. We have asked the Police to deal with this problem on numerous occasions. In turn, often after Police enforcement campaigns, we have received requests from cyclists to allow cycling on the bridge footways. We continue to resist these requests and when TfL was considering 2 possible CSH measures for the bridge we made it clear that we would not accept cycle routes along the bridge footways. Implementing measures on the bridge carriageway to make it easier for cyclists to use may help discourage cyclists from using the bridge footways. 3.3 TfL can only go ahead with the proposals on roads for which the Royal Borough is responsible with our written agreement. If you want TfL’s proposals for the bridge to go ahead you need to approve their proposals. 4. TfL proposals 4.1 The attached TfL plans show the existing arrangements and TfL’s proposals which are summarised below. Chelsea Bridge (borough road) 4.2 The carriageway space on the bridge is reorganised to: • widen the existing northbound bus lane from 3.1m to 4.5m; • provide a 1.5m wide northbound cycle lane operating at any time between the bus lane and the junction with Grosvenor Road along with two northbound traffic lanes; • provide a 1.5m wide southbound cycle lane operating at all times along the length of the bridge with one southbound traffic lane. 4.3 The cycle lanes and the bus lane would be edged with a continuous white line. To make it easier for cyclists to follow the CSH route, cycle logo markings with the route number are to be marked on a blue background at regular intervals in both directions. Going north there would be two such markings in the right turn lane approaching the junction with Grosvenor Road. Going south there would be two similar markings in the southbound cycle lane. The new northbound cycle lane would have three white standard cycle logo markings leading up to the junction with Grosvenor Road. 4.4 The proposals include three additional signs. The new cycle lanes each require a sign at their beginning and TfL is proposing a new CSH direction sign beneath the existing traffic direction sign on the northern approach to the junction of Grosvenor Road. The traffic direction sign itself is also being changed to remove the Congestion Charge symbol. Chelsea Bridge Road approach to Grosvenor Road (borough road) 4.5 The two lane approach with an advanced cycle stop line is retained but the existing short feeder cycle lane on the approach is removed. 3 Chelsea Bridge/Grosvenor Road/Chelsea Bridge Road junction (TLRN ) 4.6 The proposals involve: • widening and relocating the existing central island on the Chelsea Bridge arm and cutting back the south west and south east corner footways of the junction to accommodate the new traffic lane layout on the bridge; • widening the central island on the Chelsea Bridge Road arm to provide deflection for a new blue surfaced refuge area for cyclists waiting to turn right into Grosvenor Road from Chelsea Bridge; • providing new 5m deep blue surfaced advanced cycle stop lines on the Chelsea Bridge and Grosvenor Road arms and cycle super highway markings on Grosvenor Road (this is in Westminster); • providing a new 5m deep green surfaced advanced cycle stop line on the Chelsea Embankment approach. 5. Evaluation of proposals 5.1 The proposals TfL have put forward are unlikely to make any difference to traffic capacity on the bridge as traffic already crosses the bridge in two single lanes adjacent to the bus lane, and the two traffic lane approach to Grosvenor Road would be maintained. 5.2 It is possible that northbound traffic capacity on the bridge maybe marginally improved by the provision of the northbound cycle lane as some of the northbound cyclists will use the cycle lane instead of the general traffic lane. However, given the high numbers of cyclists using the bridge at peak periods, and that some cyclists will be turning right, it is likely that some cyclists will continue to ride in the general traffic lanes. 5.3 Cycle lanes are common in other parts of London but our policy as set out in Transport and Streetscape Policies is to use more subtle approaches to providing space for cyclists. Kensington High Street is a good example of this approach where we provided a wider than standard inside lane to give cyclists extra space. Bridges do not give rise to demand for parking or loading facilities, so dedicated cycle lanes would not cause the conflicts that they tend to on most busy roads. 5.4 We have explained our policy on cycle lanes to TfL, but TfL wants improvements which not only assist cyclists travelling along the whole CSH route but also those leaving and joining the route. More 4 northbound cyclists crossing the bridge go straight on than turn right into Grosvenor Road. TfL believes that the northbound cycle lane will help these cyclists and provide them with a clearly visible space as they approach the advance cycle stop line, without affecting other traffic capacity. 5.5 There will be some cyclists who feel less vulnerable riding inside a cycle lane and the Council does receive requests from cyclists to make some form of provision for them across the bridge. The Mayor of London’s office has also received complaints from cyclists for more to be done on the bridge. TfL’s first choice would have been to run the cycle lanes along the bridge footways, but we opposed this, so TfL has designed measures on the carriageway to assist cyclists in both directions and discourage them from using the bridge footways.

It also includes a large parade ground and underground parking facilities. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is proposing to dispose of this site in 2007/8 and relocate to Woolwich. This will therefore releases this 5.18 ha. site for disposal and re-development. Chelsea Barracks occupies a significant length of the City’s boundary with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBK&C). The site is bounded by Ebury Bridge Road, Pimlico Road, and with a long frontage onto Chelsea Bridge Road. The site is in a substantially residential area and abuts residential properties, many listed, on its north boundary. It is also flanked by two conservation areas and on its western boundary faces the Grade II registered Ranelagh Gardens, which is within RBK&C. The Chelsea Barracks Brief is part of a family of briefs for the Victoria Area. The other briefs currently being prepared for the Victoria Area are the Victoria Area Planning Brief, covering the Station, other related sites, and the Pimlico School Planning Brief.

  • Title: Royal Hospital Road – Chelsea Bridge Road Subject: VISSIM
    Title: Royal Hospital Road – Chelsea Bridge Road Subject: VISSIM modelling outputs of the proposed all-round pedestrian stage Date 31-07-2019 Attendance: Spencer Wilson (RBKC) Adam Greenland (TfL) The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the output of the revised traffic signal modelling with the reallocation of green time. Background: The previous modelling had excesses queuing on Chelsea Bridge Road southbound during the PM peak, due to arrival rate of traffic at Chelsea Bridge Road / Grosvenor Road junction. It is worth noting the introduction of the pedestrian phase at the junction only had a moderate impact on delays, but the additional platoon of traffic being discharged towards Chelsea Bridge Road / Grosvenor Road junction demonstrated the potential for traffic to block back to Royal Hospital Road junction. TfL have reallocated green time to Royal Hospital Road & Pimlico Road movements to minimise the amount of traffic heading southbound. Modelling: We reviewed the AM and PM peak models to see whether the traffic queued back past Franklins Row on Royal Hospital Road approach in the AM and Turks Row on Lower Sloane Street in the PM. Whilst there was a queue, it only appeared to queue back to these junctions on a couple of occasions. For the vast majority of the peaks, traffic cleared the junction during each green phase. To further understand the impact of the pedestrian crossings TfL advised splitting the journey time between two points, these are as follows: • Figure 1 - upstream of the junction on Lower Sloane Street to Chelsea Bridge Road • Figure 2 - downstream of the junction on Chelsea Bridge Road to Grosvenor Road Figure 1 - The red marks are show where the journey times are measured to and from Figure 2 - The red marks are show where the journey times are measured to and from Results: From the results its realistic to conclude the AM period has no real impact apart from additional queuing on the approaches due to the addition of the all round pedestrian stage.
