How this will affect you
Based on TfL’s modelling and feedback from other London cycle superhighways, CS10 will result in:
- Increased congestion, pollution and noise, with TfL predicting a high level of rat running down residential streets.
- Less safe streets, with
- Pedestrians crossing fast flowing bidirectional cycle lanes to reach bus stops and shops
- Shared pavements for pedestrians and cyclists
- Cyclists travelling at speed down Holland Park Avenue hill, causing collisions and accidents
- Less efficient bus service and walking due to
- Increased distance between bus stops and increased journey times in congested single lane traffic
- Elimination and relocation of pedestrian crossings, and narrowing of pavements
- Shop closures as
- Shops in Notting Hill and Holland Park Avenue will struggle to receive deliveries
- Customers will avoid the area due to increased congestion, during and after construction
- The cutting down of 3 established trees, reducing the environmental benefits that they were planted for
- The loss of a major arterial route out of London, to M40 and A316, and used by the Oxford Tube
