Segregated cycle facilities on Westminster Bridge

Westminster City Council did not have the information requested.

Mrs K McYarnington

Dear Westminster City Council,

I read the update on the Transport for London webpage https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/im... titled "Segregated cycle facilities on Westminster Bridge":

"It's not possible right now to install the new segregated cycle tracks across Westminster Bridge itself because the security barriers are taking up space. The large number of pedestrians here, and the structural difficulties of securing the barriers, mean it's also not possible to move the barriers onto the pavement.

We have installed new road markings across the bridge as an interim layout, including a 1.6 metre mandatory cycle lane and 3 metre bus lane in each direction.

We're still committed to creating segregated cycle facilities across Westminster Bridge and are working closely with the Metropolitan Police Service on a permanent layout for the bridge."

Could I please request a schedule/programme for work to design and implement segregated cycle facilities on Westminster Bridge and any other documents that your authority holds concerning the progress of this work?

Yours faithfully,

Mrs K McYarnington
