Crossroads roadworks - EDG/Dulwich V/RP Hill etc

No, I’m challenging your claim that new advanced cycle boxes are the reason the islands are being removed. I have never seen anything that suggests that, and it doesn’t make sense given the advanced boxes are set back behind the pedestrian crossings.

Advanced cycle boxes on all 4 arms instead of just 2 is a good thing. The new wider pavements are looking great too, 3 of the 4 corners are finished now. So much better for the heavy footfall. Pedestrian countdown timers have been needed for a long time, it’s positive that they’ll be added also.

March, if you have access to the original consultation document - and it sounds as though you do- can you share it, please?

Thanks for clarifying as it very much looked like you were saying there were no plans for any additional cycle infrastructure and then when I presented my evidence that there is you had a sudden change of position and pivoted to a - well it's not because of that! 😉

The original consultation document definitely said that the pedestrian refuge needed to be removed to make way for the new advanced cycle boxes - it's was the reason why I started the thread back in January 24.

It is good to see that the council are rectifying the right turn issue and returning the Dulwich Village junction to two lanes - the congestion and subsequent pollution has been awful for years because of the installation of the cycle wands. The council does seem to take multiple, expensive, attempts to get traffic infrastructure right.

These works are on-going and causing delays and tailbacks as one might expect.  

Anyone know what Conways working hours are ? I've been past close to 3pm on several occasions over past few weeks and they've packed up and gone.  Similar situation with the resurfacing on Greendale.  Whatever happened to a full days work ?

I expect that they work similar hours to most on this forum.  Ask Conway, they were very good in getting back when I reported one of their vehicles parked, with the engine on.
