interested in a safer and greener West London

[Will Norman @willnorman]

💥Great news for safer walking & cycling in West London💥

@LBHF have confirmed backing for C34 from Wood Lane to Holland Park Roundabout, via Shepherds Bush Green 🚲🚶‍♀️

And we're working together on Cycleway 9 from Hammersmith Broadway to Olympia 💚

@LondonW12 @willnorman Looks like another collision on Holland Park Roundabout today. When will this dangerous roundabout be fixed with safe cycle lanes?

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@HounslowCycling @TfL @VivacityLabs @LBofHounslow @katherinedunne @Shansview @willnorman This data confirms what many of us already knew intuitively: building safe cycle lanes results in more people cycling.

Result: less collisions, less pollution, healthier residents, less congestion and faster journeys for many!

1/ We've obtained 2025 data from @TfL @VivacityLabs traffic survey cameras on Chiswick High Rd. Spoiler alert - the numbers of people cycling continues to grow! @LBofHounslow @KatherineDunne @Shansview @WillNorman

@OpenChiswickW4 @willnorman @StephenCowan @LBHF @RBKC I don’t think this can be right as I understand that @LBHF has been committed since 2021 to build this cycle lane with funding specifically earmarked for construction. It’s a naturally continuation of the King Street cycle lane and would bring much needed protection.

Footway improvement near Shepherds Bush Green @LBHF

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@willnorman @lambeth_council And yet still no safe cycling corridor between west and central London as @RBKC puts lives at risk

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@willnorman Good news and looking forward to seeing the very dangerous roundabout finally transformed as well

Westminster council announcing a huge plan for the West End - includes pedestrianising the bottom end of Regent Street, Coventry Street, and another arm of Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus rebuild plus cycle lanes up Regent Street, and quite a bit more https://t.co/4crsDyCdwD

Breaking ground on London’s newest Cycleway - C34 from Wood Lane to Shepherd’s Bush Green (and then planned to go across Holland Park Roundabout).

We’ve expanded London’s Cycleway network to over 400km & the no. of daily journeys has grown to over 1.3m 🚲🚲

A school in Hammersmith has had to take matters into its own hands to block a road outside the school gates after an elderly gentleman was knocked over by a reversing van in front of children this week.

Ravenscourt Av. The school has lobbied for a school street for years.

Wood Lane cycle infrastructure under construction

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@OpenChiswickW4 @LBHF Safe cycling and improved pedestrian crossings can’t come soon enough on Holland Park roundabout!

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@theJeremyVine We will miss them!

[OpenChiswick @OpenChiswickW4]

The City of London is experiencing the Copenhagen effect.

Reallocate road space away from motor vehicles (Bishopsgate, Bank, Lime St, numerous modal filters, one ways with cycle counter flows) and you get meaningful modal shift.

A wake up call for the rest of London

@OxoDog51N14W @OldLondonW14 @RBKC @TfL Thanks - we’re not on twitter much these days but happy to have a friendly exchange like this ! It is indeed a little insane (with alas some real life consequences - Christina Kong was killed on a part of the route that was delayed because of @rbkc actions)

[MJ @MichielJoseph]

@theJeremyVine Such brilliant news! I’m sure councillors from all parties will be excited to rally behind this!

A weird thing happened after Hammersmith Bridge was closed to vehicles — the traffic count on the neighbouring bridges (Kew, Putney, Chiswick) actually FELL.
As a result, reopening the bridge to motor vehicles will never happen.
Meanwhile, rejoicing:

@CemKemahli @LBHF This kind of historic reference misses the mark and distracts from what we need in @RBKC : investment in efficient, safe, and active transport infrastructure
