Why we made these changes
The Dalston Kingsland Road scheme was delivered as a temporary emergency response to the coronavirus pandemic. As London continues to recover from the pandemic it will be more important than ever to support and encourage everyone who can to be more active. Active travel can make people healthier and happier, and it plays a part in managing and reducing congestion as well as improving our environment.
We temporarily extended the pavement with materials that can be removed later, should we need to do so. This meant that pedestrians could have more space to safely social distance and support the longer-term recovery of London as people return to the city for work, leisure and tourism.
You can read the full list of changes in our Documents section.
What has happened so far
We have been monitoring the scheme since it was introduced. This includes the scheme’s effects on traffic flow, road safety and cycling and walking rates. We have also asked people for their views on the scheme. We are using this information to help inform what we do next.
We are now reviewing all the schemes we implemented as part of that programme, while also going back to schemes we intended to either consult on or build when the pandemic hit.
Listening to you
Although we are not currently undertaking a formal consultation on this scheme, we would like to know about your experiences with it. If you have any comments about the effects of our scheme, or suggestions for changes or improvements we might make, please let us know by completing the Survey, emailing us at haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk or using the Questions tool below.
In August 2021 we wrote to people to explain the next steps with many of the schemes we introduced as part of our response to the pandemic. We are now reviewing the schemes to decide what we’d like to retain.
