  • Marylebone Lane Area

    Marylebone Lane Area

    DRAFT CHAPTER 5 Marylebone Lane Area At the time of its development in the second half of the eighteenth century the area south of the High Street was mostly divided between three relatively small landholdings separating the Portman and Portland estates. Largest was Conduit Field, twenty acres immediately east of the Portman estate and extending east and south to the Tyburn or Ay Brook and Oxford Street. This belonged to Sir Thomas Edward(e)s and later his son-in-law John Thomas Hope. North of that, along the west side of Marylebone Lane, were the four acres of Little Conduit Close, belonging to Jacob Hinde. Smaller still was the Lord Mayor’s Banqueting House Ground, a detached piece of the City of London Corporation’s Conduit Mead estate, bounded by the Tyburn, Oxford Street and Marylebone Lane. The Portland estate took in all the ground on the east side of Marylebone Lane, including the two island sites: one at the south end, where the parish court-house and watch-house stood, the other backing on to what is now Jason Court (John’s Court until 1895). This chapter is mainly concerned with Marylebone Lane, the streets on its east side north of Wigmore Street, and the southern extension of the High Street through the Hinde and part of the Hope–Edwardes estates, in the form of Thayer Street and Mandeville Place – excluding James Street, which is to be described together with the Hope–Edwardes estate generally in a later volume. The other streets east of Marylebone Lane – Henrietta Place and Wigmore Street – are described in Chapters 8 and 9.

  • Technical Note 1 Introduction

    Technical Note 1 Introduction

    Technical Note Date V1.1 - 21st June 2014 Project No UN50393 Subject TN09 Marylebone Road Concept Options 1 Introduction Jacobs (formerly SKM Colin Buchanan) are commissioned by Westminster City Council to develop the traffic engineering design and transport modelling for the Baker Street Two-Way scheme. As part of the process of developing the Baker Street Two-Way scheme concept, a feasibility exercise has been undertaken using traffic modelling to assess a number of scheme options. This feasibility assessment is detailed in The Baker Street Two Way Scheme Option Feasibility Report. The feasibility modelling identified that there would be a potential opportunity to provide enhancement to the traffic network interfacing with Marylebone Road within the immediate study area of the Baker Street Two Way scheme. This note looks at options for modifying this interface in the form of junction and pedestrian crossing alterations and presents initial analysis on the benefits and drawbacks of these options. Background conditions The existing traffic network results in the following limits on accessibility within the Marylebone Station and Baker Street area: Southbound traffic may only turn right onto Marylebone Road from Baker Street and Harewood Avenue. The capacity for southbound right-turning vehicles at Baker Street is limited by the need to provide sufficient capacity for eastbound right-turning traffic and westbound ahead moving traffic on Marylebone Road which means that signal green time is constrained. The southbound approach to Marylebone Road on Baker Street is congested through the majority of the day. The result is that the right-turn from Harewood Avenue is attractive to drivers and vehicles move through the Marylebone Station and Dorset Square areas to access this turn, impacting the quality of environment for residents and street users and presenting a perceived safety issue.

  • Edgware Road – Harrow Road Safer Junction Proposals

    Edgware Road – Harrow Road Safer Junction Proposals

    Edgware Road – Harrow Road safer junction proposals. Consultation Summary November 2019 [Type text] Executive summary We recently consulted on proposals to make the junction safer at Edgware Road and Harrow Road in the City of Westminster. The consultation was open between: 12 June and 25 July 2019. We received 217 responses to the consultation, 202 from members of the public and 15 from stakeholders. 48 per cent of people who walk and 46 per cent of people who cycle in the area and responded to the consultation advised us that the proposals would make them feel safer or much safer when moving around the junction. We have reviewed comments made during the consultation exercise and we appreciate the responses we received. Following the analysis of the comments made, we have decided to progress the project as consulted on to the next stage of the project which is detailed design. Consultation Summary Background Our Safer Junctions programme is reducing road danger at some of the most hazardous junctions in London. These junctions have high collision rates for vulnerable road users, including people walking and cycling. This programme directly contributes to our Vision Zero target to stop people from dying and being seriously injured on London’s road network by 2041. The objectives of the Safer Junction programme are to: Reduce road danger and help eliminate Killed and Seriously Injured (KSI) collisions Help create streets where people feel safe to walk, cycle and use public transport Make hostile junctions more welcoming and less dominated by motor vehicles, demonstrating the Healthy Streets Approach.
