We received 154 responses to the consultation, with 63 respondents (41 per cent) in favour of the proposals. Of these, 37 (24 per cent) said they strongly supported and 26 (17 per cent) said they supported the scheme. 77 respondents (50 per cent) were against the proposals, with 46 (30 per cent) strongly opposed and 31 (20 per cent) opposed. A further 14 respondents (9 per cent) said they neither opposed nor supported them1. The main themes raised during the consultation are highlighted below, with a fuller summary of the results in Chapter 4 and detailed analysis of issues in Appendix A. Issues most frequently raised during consultation • Concern the proposals will not improve safety conditions for cycling, making the area safe for cyclists aged 8-80 or people who want to cycle but don't currently • Opposition to the advisory cycle lane proposed for the corner of Hackney Road, saying it will increase conflict between cyclists and motor traffic • Concern that lane reductions in Hackney Road and Shoreditch High Street will increase motor traffic congestion • General calls for segregated cycle tracks to improve comfort and safety for cycling • Calls for the junction of Hackney Road and Shoreditch High Street to include a segregated cycle track on the corner of Hackney Road to protect cyclists from turning motor traffic • Calls for segregated cycle tracks along Shoreditch High Street to improve comfort and safety on a road that has relatively high cycle traffic • Non-specific calls to do more to improve cycling provision • General support for the scheme • Calls for through motor traffic to be prevented from using minor roads near Shoreditch High Street as ‘rat-runs’, in particular roads along the Quietway route such as Rivington Street and Calvert Avenue 1 This includes five respondents who replied by email and did not answer the ‘level of support’ question, but for whom we interpreted a level of support based on their comments about the scheme. 3 • Calls for the crossing between Rivington Street and Calvert Avenue to be redesigned to improve safety for cycling, with the main suggestion being to make this a signalised crossing Next steps For information about our next steps for the scheme, and for our responses to the issues raised during consultation, please see our separate ‘Response to Issues Raised’ document, also published at consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/shoreditch. 4 1. About the proposals 1.1 Introduction This consultation asked for views on plans to improve safety for cyclists using the proposed Central London Grid route between Rivington Street and Calvert Avenue (find out more at tfl.gov.uk/cycle-grid). This route forms part of the Quietway 13 cycle route, linking Farringdon to Broadway Market, being developed in partnership with the London Boroughs of Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets. Other measures proposed included a new southbound bus lane on Shoreditch High Street to help protect bus journey times, along with a larger traffic island and a wider cycle lane at the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Hackney Road to improve pedestrian and cycling provision. 1.2 Detailed description You can view a detailed description of the proposals, including an annotated diagram, at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/shoreditch. 1.2.1 Diagrams of proposed changes The consultation diagrams are reproduced in Appendix B. 1.2.2 Summary of proposed changes The following text was used to described the proposals: We would like your views on plans to improve safety for cyclists using the proposed Central London Grid route between Rivington Street and Calvert Avenue (find out more at tfl.gov.uk/cycle-grid). This route forms part of the Quietway 13 cycle route, linking Farringdon to Broadway Market, being developed in partnership with the London Boroughs of Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets. The junction changes would make cycling across Shoreditch High Street safer, helping to accommodate a predicted increase in cycling along this east-west route. Other measures proposed include a new southbound bus lane on Shoreditch High Street to help protect bus journey times, along with a larger traffic island at the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Hackney Road to improve pedestrian and cycle provision. 5 Our proposals are in line with the Mayor’s Healthy Streets for London plan, which aims to encourage more Londoners to walk and cycle by making streets healthier, safer and more welcoming. Find out more at tfl.gov.uk/healthy-streets-for-london). What are we proposing? The proposed changes are described in detail below: Junction of Shoreditch High Street with Rivington Street and Calvert Avenue: The following measures would make it safer and more comfortable for cyclists to travel east-west through this staggered junction across Shoreditch High Street: • We would introduce a right-turn ban for all traffic except cycles exiting Rivington Street into Shoreditch High Street. This would improve safety for cyclists waiting to turn into Rivington Street and pedestrians using the nearby pedestrian crossing. Our latest traffic counts show a maximum of 33 vehicles per hour making this right turn, and we are satisfied alternative routes exist • We would remove a southbound general traffic lane on Shoreditch High Street to accommodate two new right-turn pockets and three new traffic islands. The traffic islands would protect road users waiting to turn right into either Rivington Street (cycles only) or Calvert Avenue (all traffic) • We would reduce the size of the footway by a small amount on the northern corner of Shoreditch High Street and Calvert Avenue to accommodate the turning movements of larger vehicles once the new traffic islands are in place Junction of Shoreditch High Street and Hackney Road: We would enlarge the traffic island to the west of the southbound slip road, reducing the carriageway width and the number of southbound lanes from two to one. This would create more footway space for pedestrians and reduce the distance people have to cross. Making this section of road a single lane for motor traffic would also create space for an advisory southbound cycle lane and reduce the likelihood of conflict between cyclists and motor traffic. Shoreditch High Street: We would install a new southbound bus lane (operational Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm) in place of a general traffic lane from south of Rivington Street to the pedestrian crossing opposite New Inn Yard. This bus lane would also be available to cycles, taxis, motorcycles and coaches. The loading bay outside the Ace Hotel, and the existing bus stand and bus stops on Shoreditch High Street would not be affected by the bus lane. Traffic impacts We carried out traffic modelling analysis to understand how our proposals might affect journey times through the scheme area. We found that during peak times some journey times for buses and general traffic are expected to increase and some to decrease, but all changes are expected to be less than a minute. 6 2. About the consultation 2.1 Purpose The objectives of the consultation were: • To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond • To understand the level of support or opposition for the proposals • To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware • To understand concerns and objections • To allow respondents to make suggestions 2.2 Potential outcomes The potential outcomes of the consultation were: • Following careful consideration of the consultation responses, we decide to proceed with the scheme as set out in the consultation • Following careful consideration of the consultation responses, we modify the proposals in response to issues raised and proceed with a revised scheme • Following careful consideration of the consultation responses, we decide not to proceed with the scheme The next steps for this scheme are set out in the Response to Issues
