Walking & cycling during Covid-19 - our call to change streets for people

Submitted by julie on 14 May 2020
Old Ford Road filter

We have published our call to LBTH and TfL to act in the face of the pandemic, to reshape our streets with a people focussed approach.

We identify measures that are urgently needed:

  1. The removal of railings and street clutter to ensure social distancing,
  2. Bans on parking and loading to widen pavements around shops and supermarkets,
  3. The creation of temporary cycle lanes, the re-timing of pedestrian crossings and traffic intersections,
  4. Street closures for high streets.

TfL analysis shows big potential for cycling in Tower Hamlets

Submitted by alex on 18 June 2017
Strategic cycle connections identified in Tower Hamlets

Transport for London has now published its Strategic Cycling Analysis, which identifies routes where there is a high potential for cycling. The analysis brings together an impressively wide range of data. It includes information about the trips Londoners currently make and what proportion of them could, in reality, easily be made by bicycle. It then combines this with other factors, including demographic data and likely areas of future increase in population or employment.

Bicycles allowed on DLR trains

Submitted by owen on 17 January 2014

Great news from TfL, bikes allowed on off-peak DLR trains. It's been a long wait for this!

"Transport for London (TfL) is pleased to announce that, following a successful trial, non-folding bicycles are now permitted on off-peak Docklands Light Railway (DLR) trains on an ongoing basis.

Over 5,000 bikes and their cyclists travelled on the DLR during the trial period, which ran between July 2013 and January 2014. Evidence from their successful carriage has been used to demonstrate that it is appropriate to continue this policy permanently.
