The radical changes coming to the City of London: ripped out roads, new bike lanes, public squares and open spaces

  1. More of Khan’s nonsense “war on the motorist”.

    The sooner we get a Tory in the better!

  2. >97% of the journeys that the City’s 615,000 workers take to, from and around the City are made via public transport, by bicycle or on foot. Bicycles overtook cars and taxis as the most popular form of local transport for the first time last year.

    TIL

  3. Opening up either Gracechurch St / Bishopsgate or Bank junction heading north would make a huge difference for Taxis into the city from south east London over London Bridge. At the moment the only option is to turn right into Cannon Street (or use Tower Bridge) which is a pain for those of us who work in the Liverpool street area.

    (I normally use the bus to get to work, but occasionally use a Taxi if I’m running late)

  4. Shravan Joshi, the chair of the City of London’s Planning and Transportation Committee […] imagines a City of London where “students, schoolchildren, tourists, visitors, workers and residents are all intermingling.”

    What a cnut. Sounds like a total nightmare. Khan out!

  5. This is great. I hope they keep going. We desperately need more bike lanes.

  6. that junction has always needed to be resurfaced, can always count on a puncture riding across Bank – Liverpool Street

  7. Very nice. As a resident this is refreshing.

    Already walk and cycle pretty much everywhere it’s great.

  9. The scheme to pedestrianise King Edward St is going to make that area very liveable and visit-able, really love the bold decisions being made here, it shows you can re-purpose any street in London, no matter how busy, in favour of people.

  10. They’re not actually ripping out roads, are they? Just making them less car friendly. The roads will still be there.

  11. It’ll be amazing, special when some needs an ambulance or police and there’s no access
