While we continue to develop plans for Bow Interchange and the wider Bow area, we developed an interim scheme to deliver pedestrian improvements at Bow Interchange. The Bow Vision Interim scheme would provide signalised pedestrian crossings at Bow roundabout, Bow Road and Stratford High Street. We consulted on the Bow Vision Interim scheme between 16 February and 1 April 2015. This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of the recent consultation, and sets out our response to issues commonly raised. We received 174 responses to the consultation, of which 86 per cent supported or partially supported our proposals. Supporters felt the proposals would improve pedestrian safety at the interchange, although some requested more or different pedestrian and cycling provision. A small number of respondents had other concerns, including the impact on motor traffic. We also received suggestions for longer-term changes in the area. After considering all responses and issues raised, we intend to proceed with the Bow Vision Interim scheme with no significant changes to the proposals consulted on. 3 Pedestrian improvements at Bow Interchange Response to Consultation 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the scheme Transport for London is working with the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham to deliver the Vision for Bow: a place which all road users, passing through, find accessible, safe and connected. Making it easier for pedestrians to cross the road safely is a key part of this Vision. While we continue to develop plans for Bow Interchange and the wider Bow area, under the Bow Vision Programme, we developed an interim scheme to deliver pedestrian improvements at Bow Interchange. The Bow Vision Interim scheme would provide signalised pedestrian crossings at Bow roundabout, Bow Road and Stratford High Street. 1.2 Description of the proposals The proposed road layout changes included: New signalised pedestrian crossings linking Stratford High Street and Bow Road; unsignalised pedestrian crossings removed • We would install new signalised pedestrian crossings to link Stratford High Street and Bow Road via the roundabout traffic island • The westbound cycle early-start facility on Stratford High Street would be repositioned to make space for the new pedestrian crossing. The length of the cycle early-start facility would remain 18 metres • We would remove the unsignalised pedestrian crossings on the Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach slip roads New signalised pedestrian crossings on Bow Road; eastbound cycle ‘early-start’ facility lengthened • We would install new signalised crossings to allow pedestrians to cross Bow Road • The eastbound cycle early-start facility on Bow Road would be repositioned to make space for the new pedestrian crossing and redesigned similar to the layout of the westbound cycle early-start facility on Stratford High Street. The length of the cycle early-start facility would be increased to 18 metres New signalised pedestrian and cycle crossings on Stratford High Street, and improved access to the River Lea towpath • We would install new signalised crossings to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross Stratford High Street • These crossings would provide a connection for cyclists between Cycle Superhighway Route 2 westbound and the River Lea towpath 4 Pedestrian improvements at Bow Interchange Response to Consultation Existing traffic islands on Stratford High Street merged into one large kerbed island; eastbound contraflow lane removed • Merging the existing traffic islands and removing the eastbound contraflow lane would create a new area of public space • This new island would be shared by pedestrians and cyclists to enable cyclists to cross Stratford High Street to access the towpath Other proposals included: Improved urban spaces and pedestrian wayfinding • We would resurface the traffic islands and install new lighting to improve the quality of the pedestrian environment and encourage pedestrians and cyclists to use the dedicated signalised crossings • The southern planter on the roundabout central island would be adjusted to improve pedestrian accessibility • We would install Legible London signs to provide pedestrians with maps of the local area and other wayfinding information. Additional signage would be attached to the flyover columns, providing simple and clear directions You can find full details and background information of the consultation proposals here.

Pedestrian improvements at Bow Interchange Response to Consultation 9 2. The consultation 2.1. Consultation structure and duration Duration The consultation ran from 17 February to 1 April 2015. We also accepted requests from key stakeholders for later submissions up until 10 April. Responses from three key stakeholders were received after this date and were also considered by TfL and included in this report. Consultation structure Information on the consultation and details of the proposals was available online at tfl.gov.uk/bow-vision from 17 February. Respondents were asked about their level of support for the Bow Vision Interim scheme (‘support’, ‘partially support’, ‘don’t support’, ‘not sure’, ‘no opinion’), and whether they had any comments on the proposals. Respondents were also given an opportunity to comment on the future Bow Vision Programme. Respondents were asked to submit their name, email address, postcode, along with information about their travel habits. All questions were optional, apart from the question asking for overall views on the proposals. Other information, such as the respondent’s IP address and the date and time of responding, was recorded automatically. All data is held under conditions that conform to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. Publication of traffic modelling data Information summarising benefits and impacts for other road users was provided on the consultation website, alongside details of the proposals. This included a summary of predicted journey time impacts through the scheme area. 2.2. Consultation material, distribution and publicity 2.2.1 Consultation website On 17 February 2015, detailed information on the proposals was published at tfl.gov.uk/bow-vision. This consultation information included an overview map of the Bow Interchange area, a drawing of the proposed scheme, a computer-generated image (CGI) showing an artist’s impression, and a description of the proposals. 10 Pedestrian

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.
