Caroline Pidgeon AM visited Archway on Tuesday 20th October to see first hand the proposed changes to the area being developed by TfL with Islington Council. Caroline met with residents and TfL engineers to discuss the plans and hear concerns.
One of the major issues is the location of 12 bus stands on the main road - as a result of Islington Council selling off a piece of land where the buses currently wait between journeys.
"Whilst the route may improve things for many cyclists and pedestrians and make Archway more of a destination, it is not ideal at all to be putting bus stands on the roads, and to have buses having to do U turns in the road as well," commented Caroline.
TfL have confirmed the works will take a year to build and there will be a review on how it works in practice.
