  • Alternative Options Investigated to Address the Issues at Blackwall Tunnel
    Alternative options considered to address the issues at the Blackwall Tunnel We have considered a wide range of options for schemes to help address the transport problems of congestion, closures and incidents, and resilience at the Blackwall Tunnel and believe that our proposed Silvertown Tunnel scheme is the best solution. This factsheet examines a number of potential alternative schemes, including some which were suggested by respondents to our previous consultation, and explains why we do not consider them to be feasible solutions to the problems at the Blackwall Tunnel. Further detail on each alternative as well as other alternatives is included in the Preliminary Case for the Scheme, which can be found at www.tfl.gov.uk/Silvertown-tunnel. Building a bridge between Silvertown and the Greenwich Peninsula, rather than a tunnel We have considered building a bridge at Silvertown, instead of a tunnel. However, any new bridge built in east London needs to provide at least 50m of clearance above the water level to allow tall sea-going shipping to pass beneath safely. A bridge with this level of clearance would require long, sloping approach ramps. Such ramps would create a barrier within the local area, as well as dramatically affecting the visual environment and going against local authorities’ development plans. A high-level bridge would also not be feasible in the current location due to it’s proximity to the Emirates Air Line cable car. We also considered the option of a lifting bridge (like Tower Bridge). This could be constructed at a lower level, with less impact on the local area.

  • Parks Open Spaces Timeline
    Wandsworth Council Parks time line There are many large green open places in south west London. The commons of Barnes, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Streatham, Tooting, Wandsworth and Wimbledon date from ‘time immemorial’. Though largely comprising the wastes or heathland of a parish, the commons were integral to mediaeval land settlements and were owned by lords of the manors. As London developed during the nineteenth century the land was increasingly developed for housing. Several legal battles took place to defend the commons as open land. Garratt Green had long been ‘defended’ by the infamous Mayors of Garratt elections. Listed below are the green places in the Borough of Wandsworth that are managed by Wandsworth Parks Service. Further historic information can be found in the individual site management plans. 1858 A Royal Commission into housing recommended creating Battersea Park, Kennington Park, and Victoria Park in Hackney with formal and informal gardens as a way offering moral improvement to an area. Health was a matter of fresh air, exercise and diet, rather than one of medical resources. 1885 Battersea Vestry created Christchurch Gardens as ‘an outdoor drawing room’. The shelter and memorial were added after 1945. 1886 Waterman’s Green was created by the Metropolitan Board of Works as part of the approach to the new Putney Bridge when it was rebuilt in stone. It was not publicly accessible. 1888 Battersea Vestry owned the parish wharf and created Vicarage Gardens as a promenade, complete with ornamental urns on plinths along the river wall. During 1990s it was included in flood defence schemes. 1903 Leader’s Gardens and Coronation Gardens were created as public parks by private donation from two wealthy local individuals.

  • Silvertown Tunnel from a Category a Tunnel to a Category E Tunnel
    Appendix 2: assessment of Transport for London’s reasons for changing the proposed Silvertown Tunnel from a category A tunnel to a category E tunnel Cost It has been advised by Transport for London that a category A tunnel would cost approximately £2.5 million more than a category E tunnel. This is considered to be a very small sum of money in the context of the cost of the scheme as a whole (nearly £1 000 million) and saving this sum appears to be a false economy given the benefits that would accrue from safely conveying dangerous goods across the River Thames without unnecessarily long routes via Central London. Concurrent Operation of the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels Transport for London’s position is that the shared Greenwich Peninsula approach road would increase the risk of vehicles conveying dangerous goods using the Blackwall Tunnel, which is an existing category E tunnel that is not capable of safely conveying dangerous goods. This does not seem to be a valid reason for designing the Silvertown Tunnel so as to also be incapable of safely conveying dangerous goods. The need to sign vehicles carrying dangerous goods away from the Blackwall Tunnel onto a diversion route is an existing situation. Currently the diversion is to Tower Bridge. A diversion to a category A Silvertown Tunnel would be a vastly shorter and less complicated diversion that would be much more likely to be complied with. The only operational situation when a category A Silvertown Tunnel would not represent a much less onerous diversion away from the Blackwall Tunnel would be when the Silvertown Tunnel was closed (for maintenance or because of an incident) but the Blackwall Tunnel remained open.

  • What Is the Silvertown Tunnel?
    What is the Silvertown Tunnel? The Silvertown Tunnel will be a new twin-bore tunnel providing a road link beneath the Thames from the Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach on the Greenwich Peninsula to the Tidal Basin roundabout in the Royal Docks area. The Silvertown Tunnel alignment Our current estimate is that the tunnel will cost around £750m. Construction could start in late 2017 and the soonest that the tunnel could be open is 2021/2022. The section beneath the Thames will be built as a ‘bored’ tunnel, using a tunnel boring machine similar to those used to construct Crossrail. The sections either side of the river will be built using the ‘cut & cover’ technique, in which the ground is excavated, following which the tunnel is built and then covered over. The tunnels will be accessible to all motorised vehicles. There will be two traffic lanes in each direction, in a separate bore. One lane in each direction could be reserved for buses and HGVs. We will build new junctions to link the tunnels into the existing road network, and new portal buildings to house the infrastructure necessary to operate the tunnel, including ventilation equipment. Changes to the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road We would need to make a number of changes to the existing road network on the south side, on the immediate approach to the new tunnel. These changes are: • Widening the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach road in order to create new access routes to the Silvertown Tunnel portals. • Demolishing the existing footbridge over the A102 near the junction with Boord Street, to allow for the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach to be widened.

  • London's Street Family Chapters 3-3.1
    3. Case studies and priorities for street-types The following pages illustrate each of the street-types in greater detail. For each street-type, this chapter identifies the typical issues found in these locations, the different ingredients required for a successful street-type, and an aspirational view showing what a successful street of that type could look like. These are supported by case studies of locations within each street-type that these principles could be applied to. Case studies Typical issues Ingredients Aspirational view The purpose of these case studies was to inform the development of the street- types, including the specific interventions and broader measures required to achieve the emerging RTF vision. The challenges and recommendations identified are designed to illustrate the challenges of the relevant street-types, and the measures that would be of greatest benefit. The case studies are not intended to be a list of confirmed improvements to these roads and should not be treated as such. The case studies were chosen from the top two rows of the street family matrix. For street-types on the bottom row (local streets, town squares/streets, and city places), please refer to the ‘Better Streets Delivered’ supporting document for studies of how specific issues have been resolved at locations across London. The case studies that were chosen provide a spread of geographical locations, town centres, and anticipated challenges. A map of the case study locations and a table of the anticipated challenges at these locations are
