St Helier Avenue consultation opened on installing bus lanes
I'd thought St Helier avenue was a 30 mph limit?
St Helier Avenue consultation opened on installing bus lanes
Proposals
We want to improve bus services on St Helier Avenue and make the area a safer environment for pedestrians. We propose:
Introducing over 1.5km of new bus lanes operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a 1.6km stretch of road (both directions accounted for)
Two new pedestrian crossings at Langdon Walk and Dore Gardens, making St Helier Avenue easier to cross as highlighted by the community
Widening footways/pavements at side road junctions to increase space for pedestrians
Increasing parking restrictions by changing single red lines to double red lines, changing parking operating hours and removing some parking bays, making bus journeys quicker
Retain existing cycle track along western footway of St Helier Avenue
Support existing speed restrictions (20mph)
Summary of changes
Parking bay just after Boxley Road to be removed and replaced with double red lines in order to provide better benefits for buses
Footway buildout at Connaught Gardens provides more space for people walking and makes vehicles travel more slowly reducing risk of accidents occurring
New bus lane at Connaught Gardens bus stop allows buses to pull in and pull out efficiently
Footway buildout at Arras Avenue provides more space for pedestrians. Parking bay to be inset into the footway buildout
New traffic light-signalled crossing at Langdon Walk, providing point for crossing St Helier Avenue safely
New traffic light-signalled crossing at Netley Gardens, providing point for crossing St Helier Avenue safely
Cycle track realigned at Langdon Walk to enable creation of new traffic-signalled safe crossing point
Shared use area created for people walking and cycling at Netley Gardens to enable creation of new traffic-signalled safe crossing point
More double red lines along St Helier Avenue increase restrictions and make buses run more reliably more frequently
Buses suffer less delays due to parking restrictions preventing other vehicles blocking their travel on St Helier Avenue
1600m of new bus lane with 24/7 operation allows buses to proceed quickly and reliably along St Helier Avenue
Footway built out at Rose Hill Roundabout bus stop increases waiting space for bus users and prevents situations where buses cannot pull out into traffic to continue journeys
