Yes! Or this fine example of a road in Hackney which doesn't seem to face any scrutiny from certain former cllrs

A meme showing 2 statements. Cycle lanes behind bus stops bad. Roads behind bus stops good.

Remember folks...

It's the usual reductive nonsense from people with an agenda that doesn't stand up to a moments scrutiny.

Yes we could ban driveways, in the same way the MP in question wants to ban cycle paths. The question is, why is one suggestion unthinkable but the other deemed OK?

You LOVE to see it

A family cycles on CS2

In the five years leading up to the replacement of blue paint with segregated cycle tracks and floating bus stops 5 people were killed on CS2. In the ten years since they were constructed no cyclists had died and there have been no significant collisions between cycles and pedestrians at bus stops

Hackney without protected cycle lanes and floating bus stops versus….(1/2)

An ammendment sheet relating to banning cycle paths near bus stops.

@meghillier.bsky.social has tabled 8 amendments to the Bus Services bill. All 8 relate to cycle tracks around bus stops. None relate to motor vehicles.
It goes against Hackney Councils own guidance by calling for an outright ban.

Take a look at this thread. This is what the absence of decent infrastructure for cycling causes: kids end up riding on the pavement because the roads are unsafe.

Driveways open onto these pavements without adequate risk assessment, because drivers get the benefit of the presumption of right.

This was the scene locally in Hackney on Saturday. A small child was hit by a driver whilst cycling on the pavement next to a school. She sustained a serious injury.

I agree. Issuing design standards should be business as usual for ATE/DfT and not something for legislation. This bill is intended to be a step towards more integrated local transport and these changes would undermine that.

In her first speech as transport secretary, Heidi Alexander mentioned she was proud of the cycle lanes on Evelyn St & Jamaica Rd from her time as Deputy Mayor for Transport in London. Both feature bus stop bypasses as you can’t have a safe cycle network without them, a point clearly made here👇

Could you please engage with people who know about building active travel infrastructure
@meghillier.bsky.social? Banning bus stop bypasses means no continuous cycle network, thus cycling only for the brave. In a climate emergency. In an obesity crisis. Children then unable to travel independently.

Fully protected cycleways enable children, older people and those with mobility impairments to ride safely. Removing that is unthinkable.

Driveways like this exist everywhere and are given approval by councils without a moment's scrutiny. A local MP is trying to ban safe cycleways whilst having nothing to say about this sort of danger, which shows complete double standards.

🤔 So, just what would a car-free Sunday in the capital look like? And what kind of impact would it have on cycling?

Dammit! I was going to quote a recent Presidential campaign slogan...

@smoothradio.com morning! Can I get a shout out to the Blood donor team at the West End centre please? Chris and the team enjoying the tunes. Thank you!

Sound as a pound. Well said Lewis,

Haha. As if

‘Polluting’ Silvertown tunnel is already out of date despite just opening, say campaigners Victoria Rance says the ‘1970s technology’ will cause pollution that will damage health for decades, but London mayor and TfL claim it will reduce congestion

Silvertown Tunnel is an utter embarrassment to London. London is locking-in car dependency, unlike forward thinking European cities like Paris that continue to invest in cycling infrastructure and reducing car usage.
The just-opened tunnel needs to be repurposed.

We did a ride which featured here about 10 years ago. So many wins starting to go through now.
Newington green and Hillmartin were always on my list

The ride theme was 'space' for cycling, with placards to match. A huge thanks to @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social for joining at the start and supporting the hundreds of parents & kids calling for action as well as being a city champion we desperately need to tackle #carspreading in the UK. 2/3

5 years ago, Hackney was at the forefront of changing streets to make cycling accessible and safer. Now, it's going backwards. @hoxtonrich.bsky.social has been calling this out but alarm bells should be ringing @hackneynorthlabour.bsky.social that there is very little confidence in delivery here 👇
