Tfl is proposing two major changes which it says will make it easier for people to cross both the A12 and Stratford High Street.
The consultation closes on 23 April 2017
You can see the plans and read more about the proposals at tfl.gov.uk/bromley-marshgate
At Bromley-By-Bow the proposals include:
- Two signalised junctions on the A12, to the north of Bromley-by-Bow station to provide access to proposed residential and commercial development to the east of the A12 (around Tesco)
- Vehicles travelling northbound on the A12 would be able to turn right to access these new developments directly, without having to make a u-turn at Bow roundabout
- A bus-only link across the A12 to connect Bromley-by-Bow and new developments to the east
- Signalised crossings to replace the subway at Three Mill Lane, and improvements to the subway at Bromley-by-Bow station
- A segregated cycle track on the east side of the A12 to help improve access to the local cycle network, including the Lea Valley Towpath and Cycle Superhighway 2
At Marshgate Lane the plan is:
- A new link road, connecting Marshgate Lane with Sugarhouse Lane and creating a four-arm junction with A118 Stratford High Street, to allow buses, cyclists and pedestrians to cross the Bow Back River via a new bridge, improving access to Pudding Mill Lane station and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
HOWEVER…. in other news TFL has decided to shelve plans to redesign Bow Interchange and remove the roundabout and flyover, with a view to improving pedestrian and cycle access. It said it won’t go ahead “until we can identify the significant funding required to take the plans forward” – in other words, there’s no money in the kitty at the moment for this!
TFL staff will be on hand to talk about the plans at Kingsley Hall, Powis Road, on the following days (check tfl.gov.uk/bromley-marshgate before travelling)
Monday 27 March 4pm-8pm
Saturday 8 April, midday-4pm
Thursday 20 April, 4pm-8pm
