Overview of Mini Holland Bid, continued providing an excellent opportunity to build cycling in to the 2. Lea Bridge Road Cycle Superhighway 3. A network of good cycle routes physical, social and economic fabric of the area. For example, 200 homes, shops and a hotel are currently being built at We propose a Cycle Superhighway along Lea Bridge Road (from The main design principles for our cycle route network Walthamstow Central Station. Waterworks Roundabout to Hackney Powerscroft Rd). This will proposals include: 12 Another 120 homes, shops, restaurants and a cinema are taking shape on the former Arcade site next to Walthamstow Town Square, and the Council has approved a residential/ retail development on the site of the Council’s South Grove car park. New schools are being built at Blackhorse Road and on Hoe Street, and others are expanding. An estimated 4,600 new homes are to be built in the Mini-Holland wider area (Town Centre, Blackhorse Road, Wood Street) over the next 15 years. fill a gap in London’s CSH map. It will be the first in the borough, stretching from Lower Clapton and Walthamstow Marshes to the remodelled Whipps Cross roundabout and on to Waterworks roundabout (or Epping Forest) via Bakers Arms, linking with both of our key north-south cycle routes and connecting our Mini Holland to the City and central London. Borough cycle counts demonstrate that this route has the highest cyclist flows in Waltham Forest at 6% of all traffic in the peak. There has been a 42% increase in cycling over the last year alone – an • Safe space for cycling - Selbourne Road, Coppermill Lane, Markhouse Road, the Walthamstow Gyratory, - drawing on international best practise our proposed treatment of these and other streets represents a step-change in the way Waltham Forest and outer London treat cyclists. • Direct routes - key, simple and direct routes east-west and north-south that recognise cyclists like riding directly to where they want to go without lengthy diversions. However, key routes within the centre are currently dominated by road traffic creating an unwelcoming environment for cyclists and pedestrians, spoiling the look of the area and causing extra 500 cyclists a day. It is an even more important route into the borough in winter and at night when quiet routes across Walthamstow Marshes are less attractive (currently unlit, though we propose to address this through the Quietways programme). The key routes include two main north-south routes linking the secondary town centres and the east-west route, Coppermill Lane to Wood Street. air quality problems. The Council has already made a policy decision to prioritise walking, cycling and public transport within the town centre in its LIP and Area Action Plan. Mini- Holland funding would enable us to accelerate the change. A key feature of our Walthamstow Mini Holland proposals is Currently, high traffic speeds and volume make Lea Bridge Road a threatening environment for the less experienced cyclists we are keen to attract: observation in situ shows that cyclists are mainly young men on fast road bikes. (Problem junctions along on Lea Bridge Road are covered in the A. Leyton to Blackhorse Road: A high quality cycle route providing a link via Markhouse Road-Church Road-Grange Park Road- and High Road Leyton to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford and onto Canary Wharf/the city via the award winning Leyton Town Centre. the concept of “Villagisation” – which includes removal of through traffic in residential areas in central Walthamstow, building on work already underway to make Walthamstow a more cycle-permeable place, and addressing rat-running. Forest Road Forest Road is the northern boundary of the Walthamstow mini Holland area. It is also the A503 providing a link between Tottenham Hale (via ferry Lane) with Upper Walthamstow and the North Circular Road. This route is the northern part of the frame of cycle routes for the mini Holland area and forms our network of good cycling routes. The costs for Forest Road have been incorporated within the outlined costs for Walthastow town centre. Junctions section, below). The 2014 Tour de France will pass along this road, and Lea Bridge Station is set to reopen in December 2014. Substantial development (residential and commercial) is taking place at the border with Hackney, which we expect to generate significant extra demand for cycling. Adressing Severance (part 1) Integral to our Lea Bridge Road Cycle Superhighway proposals are the sources of severence found at: • Walthamstow/Hoe Street Gyratory • Whipps Cross Roundabout • Junction at Lea Bridge Road/Argyll Way/Orient Way B. Leyton to North Chingford: With substantial stretches of segregation this route will run from Leyton, via Chingford Road, Chingford Mount Road to North Chingford. C. Coppermill Lane to Wood Street: An exemplar quiet route taking its influence from Dutch ‘fietstraats’ (cycle streets), this route will run through the heart of Walthamstow’s Mini Holland from Coppermill Lane and the Walthamstow Wetlands in the west, to Wood Street with its shops, market and station to the east. (The stretch from Walthamstow Town Centre to the Hackney border is part of the proposed Quietway 38 to Bloomsbury). • Junction at Lea Bridge Road/Church Road/Markhouse Road
