Southwark consultation on Peckham gyratory

[Marguerita98]

Is anyone aware of the potential impact of the plans (to close off one road on the triangle to cyclists and restrict traffic on the other side) on East Dulwich Road and Goose Green?  

It seems to me that there will be a large volume of traffic displacement (including lorries) through East Dulwich and Lordship Lane particularly at busy times, as a result.  Link to consultation and the survey here:

You will have to explain this one to me, it looks to be improving bus and bike journeys, which is a good thing.  Traffic is always backed up the Rye during rush hour/term times, having used this route to commute for two decades by bike.  I'd welcome safer bike journeys.

I'll have a longer look later.

Just re-read the document. So they're making the east side of Peckham rye buses only? Is that likely to impact lordship lane?

I'm in favour of the extended pavements, safer crossings and segregated bike lanes. I imagine that making the east side of the rye a fast bus route will improve journey times too.
