Re-routing Cycleway 51 via Cunningham Place instead of Northwick Terrace

Proposed new design for pedestrian and cycle crossing of St. John’s Wood Road Update 16 March 2024

This consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who responded. We are analysing your feedback and will report back shortly.

-update ends-

Between 4 September and 15 October 2023, in partnership with Westminster City Council, (WCC) we held a consultation on proposals to make changes to the junction of Northwick Terrace and St John's Wood Road to accommodate Westminster City Councils Cycleway 51. We’ve since amended our proposals in response to your comments and we would now like to hear your views on re-routing C51 along Cunningham Place instead of Northwick Terrace.

We’re not proposing to make any further changes to our proposals to amend the junction of Marylebone Road and Harewood Avenue, the other TfL junction on C51, which was consulted on at the same time as junction of Northwick Terrace and St. John’s Wood Road.

On this page you can read what is proposed and how you can have your say. You have until Friday 15 March 2024 to give us your feedback.

Having reviewed the feedback from respondents to our previous consultation, working with Westminster City Council we now propose to route the new Cycleway via Cunningham Place instead of Northwick Terrace, to meet at the Aberdeen Place/Lyons Place junction.

These new proposals would replace those we developed and consulted upon for the junction of Northwick Terrace and St John’s Wood Road and mean it would be necessary to make changes to the junction of Cunningham Place and St John’s Wood Road. The new parallel zebra crossing over St. John’s Wood Road, near to the junction with Hamilton Terrace would be retained in these new proposals.

The main benefits of using Cunningham Place rather than Northwick Terrace would be to remove the need to have a shared space on the southern footway of St John’s Wood Road and it would also reduce the number of Westminster City Council Residents Parking bays that would need to be removed. These were both issues that were raised by raised by respondents to our previous consultation. The route via Cunningham Place is very slightly longer but it is flatter and we’d expect that there would be less traffic here in peak hours.

You can find more details about our proposals in the summary of changes.

Background

Between 4 September and 16 October TfL consulted on Cycleway 51. The focus was specifically on how the Cycleway was proposed to interact with TLRN junctions along the route – Marylebone Road junctions with Enford Street & Harewood Avenue, and St John’s Wood Road junctions with Hamilton Terrace & Northwick Terrace.

TfL’s consultation report has been published but analysis of the results show that respondents raised concerns with the Northwick Terrace section of the route. Our original plans would result in a loss of Westminster City Council (WCC) resident’s parking bays and create a section of shared space for cyclists and pedestrians on the southern footway of St John’s Wood Road.

We believe we can resolve these issues by re-routing C51 via Cunningham Place instead.
