Widening the pedestrian area in the north of the high street and sharing the space with parking doesn't seem a good idea. If vehicles are already mounting the pavement having no clear demarcation is a recipe for disaster?. I also don't see the point of a taxi rank, it's elitist and taxis even if full to capacity which they probably rarely are, can't carry nearly as many people as a Hoppa bus, which could ferry people on a tidy little circular route between Deptford Rail, Evelyn Street for connections to Greenwich/Surrey Quays and the bus stand at Deptford Bridge. Also the consultation time seems really short. and I'm not convinced they've done enough to reach a fair number of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-7532182291099250002016-01-28T21:19:19.738+00:002016-01-28T21:19:19.738+00:00Excellent analysis on how the impacts of road layo...Excellent analysis on how the impacts of road layout changes on DHS ripple out far beyond their location. DeptfordFolk had a recent success getting TfL (and the cycle quietway) to look at putting a proper pedestrian/cycle crossing between Woodpecker Road and Folkestone Gardens. They've gone back to the drawing board so we wait and see. The road layout changes are often the most tedious and inaccessible of consultations but, as you rightly point out, make a huge difference and very difficult to change once set in stone.DeptfordFolkhttp://www.deptfordfolk.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-89296818765123311232016-01-27T23:49:27.247+00:002016-01-27T23:49:27.247+00:00@anon 23.20 I'm afraid I don't know anythi...@anon 23.20 I'm afraid I don't know anything about a post re a petrol station, nor will anyone else reading this post!

Getting traffic off the high street is good, but it will only displace onto Evelyn. With all of the building schemes planned for this stretch (Convoys and the bit near the petrol station/car wash), Evelyn is going to be a standstill. Stationary traffic equals more pollution than moving traffic so things are only going to get worse.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
