Turn Bricklayers' Arms flyover into a park

The London SE1 website reports on Caroline Pidgeon's suggestion to the mayor to turn the Bricklayers' Arms flyover in Southwark into an elevated park like New York's High Line.

Boris Johnson has said that Transport for London have no plans to close the flyover to traffic, but has asked TfL to review ways of reducing the environmental impact of the flyover.

Caroline said: "The flyover is an historic eyesore. In the long term I would welcome its removal, but in the short term I certainly welcome the Mayor's commitment to ensure his environment team look at improving the local environment, including tackling air pollution."
