FAQs
Why are you doing this scheme?
The scheme aims to improve the walking and cycling experience around this area.
The Mayor of London is committed to tackling air pollution, promoting public transport and making our streets safer. The Mayor’s Transport Strategy sets a target for 80% of trips to be made via walking, cycling or public transport by 2041.
These changes are necessary to improve the area in and around East Putney station for pedestrians and people cycling.
What impact will the scheme have on traffic and journey times?
Our traffic modelling currently indicates that there will be no impact on traffic times due to the proposed changes in the area.
Why aren’t you doing more to improve conditions for cyclists in the area?
Unfortunately, due to physical constraints in the area, it is not possible to provide additional cycle lanes on Upper Richmond Road.
We plan to build a new toucan crossing across Upper Richmond Road and introduce new cycle stands in the area to help improve cyclist safety.
Why are removing parking spaces?
To make it possible to build these improvements it will be necessary to relocate and remove some existing loading and parking bays.
When do you plan to carry out the works?
Following the consultation and once we review the feedback we will complete our detailed design.
We hope to carry out the improvements in 2026.
When are you planning to improve the junction of Putney Hill and Upper Richmond Road?
The scheme at the junction of Putney Hill and Upper Richmond Road seeks to improve the safety of the junction for all road users. The scheme is currently in the early stages of the design process.
