  • Business Case for Refurbishment of the Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels
    Business Case for Refurbishment of the Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels 1. The Scheme The scheme is for a major refurbishment of the foot tunnels at Greenwich and Woolwich. The tunnels are over 100 years old and suffer from an increasing amount of water penetration, unreliable lifts and an uninviting walking environment. Despite this, they are well used both by local residents and, in the case of Greenwich, by tourists. Their unique contribution to London’s transport network is the provision of a 24/7 opportunity to cross the River Thames by foot or cycle. The refurbishment scheme will provide: Total replacements of the lifts Refurbishment of the domes above the lifts Enhanced CCTV coverage of the tunnels and help points with 24/7 monitoring Enhanced lighting within the tunnels A better quality environment within the tunnels with refreshed tiling and improved cleaning Improved signing to the tunnels Provision of real time information The outcomes of the scheme are: Reliable lifts A facility which can be consistently used by all sections of the community including disabled and elderly people The preservation of the tunnels by controlling the rate of water penetration The preservation of the Grade II listed buildings by control of water penetration. A significant increase in journey ambience through the tunnels, together with increased lighting and security, 24 hours a day. 2. Costs Capital Costs Do-minimum Without the scheme, the tunnels will still remain open for a while. The lifts will continue to operate with one member of staff per lift from 7am to 9pm. The lifts will however become increasingly unreliable.

  • Rotherhithe Case Study
    Rotherhithe Case Study: Propensity to Cycle Tool This case study has been written to use the Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT: www.pct.bike) to consider the impact of a bridge in South-East London between Rotherhithe and Canary Wharf, close to the location of the current ferry. A caveat must be noted: the PCT has not been designed to evaluate the impact of providing faster or more direct routes on cycling potential, and so this case study must be considered exploratory. However, this report illustrates the principle using a relatively simple example, for which ‘quiet route’ distance may be used to explore possible increases in cycling potential. The case study was drafted by Rachel Aldred on behalf of the PCT team.
