We asked for your views about proposals for making St Helier Avenue a Safe and Healthy Street. By clicking on each of the buttons below, you can read more about what was proposed and how this may impact you. 





Proposals

We want to improve bus services on St Helier Avenue and make the area a safer environment for pedestrians. We propose:

  • Introducing over 1.5km of new bus lanes operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a 1.6km stretch of road (both directions accounted for)
  • Two new pedestrian crossings at Langdon Walk and Dore Gardens, making St Helier Avenue easier to cross as highlighted by the community
  • Widening footways/pavements at side road junctions to increase space for pedestrians
  • Increasing parking restrictions by changing single red lines to double red lines, changing parking operating hours and removing some parking bays, making bus journeys quicker
  • Retain existing cycle track along western footway of St Helier Avenue
  • Support existing speed restrictions (20mph)




Summary of changes

  • Parking bay just after Boxley Road to be removed and replaced with double red lines in order to provide better benefits for buses


  • Footway buildout at Connaught Gardens provides more space for people walking and makes vehicles travel more slowly reducing risk of accidents occurring


  • New bus lane at Connaught Gardens bus stop allows buses to pull in and pull out efficiently


  • Footway buildout at Arras Avenue provides more space for pedestrians. Parking bay to be inset into the footway buildout


  • New traffic light-signalled crossing at Langdon Walk, providing point for crossing St Helier Avenue safely


  • New traffic light-signalled crossing at Netley Gardens, providing point for crossing St Helier Avenue safely


  • Cycle track realigned at Langdon Walk to enable creation of new traffic-signalled safe crossing point


  • Shared use area created for people walking and cycling at Netley Gardens to enable creation of new traffic-signalled safe crossing point


  • More double red lines along St Helier Avenue increase restrictions and make buses run more reliably more frequently


  • Buses suffer less delays due to parking restrictions preventing other vehicles blocking their travel on St Helier Avenue


  • 1600m of new bus lane with 24/7 operation allows buses to proceed quickly and reliably along St Helier Avenue


  • Footway built out at Rose Hill Roundabout bus stop increases waiting space for bus users and prevents situations where buses cannot pull out into traffic to continue journeys
