Tooley Street Consultation

[snowman]

Another Consultation in healthly streets theme
affects 4 day bus routes and 2 night routes

Usual stuff (for these days), 20mph limits, banned turns, cycle lanes, reducing traffic by making it go elsewhere. But is only an interim scheme pending cycle superhighway 4

For reasons I cannot fathom, the attached plan shows bus stops where the painted cage appears to be a different length for each stop

The taxi trade and delivery firms serving local businesses and the huge office complexes are going to *love* that scheme - NOT! Cue taxi demos that block London Bridge and Tooley Street. Given the RV1 is going to be axed surely it will be down to 3 bus services in future - 47, 343 and 381?

It's also not terribly clear whether sightseeing buses will retain access to the area or not. Also no mention of emergency service vehicle access - can they override restrictions regardless?

Without increased PVR, the 47 becomes 4 bph, down to 3 evenings and 2 on Sundays?

I bloody hope it doesn't go forward. We don't need anymore cycle lanes etc!!!

Don't remove the bus lanes as they are very important.
