Caroline Pidgeon AM carried out a site visit with TfL to Blackfriars bridge on Monday 18th April to look on site at the new plans that TfL are proposing for the design of the junction.
The new plans, which would be introduced after the works to Blackfriars station are complete, result in the removal of an existing cycle lane and priority really given to vehicles rather than pedestrians and cyclists.
"The plans just do not stack up and do not make sense in the year 2011. It feels like a backwards step in design not progressive" commented Caroline.
Caroline has had many representation from local councillors and residents as well as Living Streets, and has written to TfL expressing her concerns. You can read the letter here.
